VBS Day 1

We had a phenomenal first day of VBS today!

Your child came home with a coloring sheet with information containing our Bible Point, Bible Buddy, and Bible Story. Take some time to talk to your child about this at home. They have a lot to share!

Check out our slideshow from today! You can see all of the fun things we did. In the middle you can even see a video of our snack time prayer! You could do this prayer at home before you eat too!

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Sing and Play: singing and dancing and learning about the day
Snack: The preschoolers had snack service today. They made snack for everybody!
Spotlight Drama: Each day one group takes photos during games for our slideshow at the end of the day!
Games: Fun outside! The games focus on cooperation, not competition.
Imagination Station: Today we made our namebadge holders. They also hold our Bible Buddies!
Bible Adventures: We met out leaders and joined a Roman army! We saw a Roman officer's faith in action and discoverd Jesus' healing power!
Chadder Movie and Missions: We met Chadder and saw a movie about him. We started learning about our Operation Kid-to-Kid project. And got a Bible Buddy!
Snack: We all eat together. But first we pray!
Games: More games!
Finale: We reviewed the day, sang songs, played a game called "Will it launch?" and learned about our mosquito net donation collection. 1 net protects 2 kids for 4 years. Crazy!

Welcome to VBS 2012

Check out the VBS intro video here:

At Sky, kids discover that for God, ALL things are possible! Sky is filled with incredible experiences that allow kids to see, hear, touch, and even taste! Science-Fun Gizmos, team-building games, cool faith-filled songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the Sky activities that help faith flow into real life. Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life – something we call God Sightings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot. Ask your child about his/her God Sighting each day!

Your kids will also participate in a hands-on project, through a program called Operation Kid-to-Kid with Catholic Relief Services, that will let the kids in our community show God’s love to children in Africa. We will be collecting donations (even pennies are great!) Tuesday through Friday. For each $6 collected, we will be able to donate one mosquito net to children in Africa to protect them from Malaria. One mosquito net protects 2 children for 4 years! Your child can bring change, cash, or a check (made to Church of the Holy Spirit) if you would like to participate.
