VBS DAY 1 - God Created Me and Gives Me Life

The day started with devotions and some inspiration from Father Mark.  He reminded us that we are reflecting the image of Christ for the community of Southend.  It was a day of anticipation and excitement as we were putting our plans into place for VBS Day 1. 

The children streamed in with their furry friends and the Lord blessed us with 94 kids and 5 dogs!  It was fitting since the days lesson was about God's creations.  The kids were asked to share something that they saw on their way to VBS that was good....one boy answered "Bob".    Bob Vrudny is the team member that the kids are drawn to because of his kindness and especially his handlebar mustache!

It was really fun to see the kids responding to the songs from last year and they had a great time.  It was a successful day of sharing the story of Creation.  It is amazing how He uses simple people like us to spread His message of hope and love.

    Thanks for serving the Lord today. He is good! Great photos . . . love the sunset. Gwen is claiming she caught a bunch of fish. We are going to need to see some photographic evidence before buying that story!
