Monday July 7th was the kickstarter to this year’s Vacation Bible School. Everyone enjoyed a meal of fishsticks, tatertots, baked beans, and Mildred Hehr’s famous brownies. The bible story was read from Exodus by Logan Bruce about Moses parting the Red Sea. Mrs. Kelsey Dacci provided a craft that went the bible story. Everyone had an exciting time playing games led by Cooper and Gracen Wright.
Tuesday July 8th was filled with excitement as everyone arrived ready to dive in for more VBS fun. The Tuesday meal consisted of pizza, chips and fruit. Logan Bruce read the bible story telling how Jesus fed the 5,000 with a little boy’s lunch. Cooper and Gracen Wright provided 2 games where the girls played against the boys. The girl’s ruled for the night! Mrs. Kelsey Dacci taught everyone to weave a small basket. Who knew you could have so much fun “Under the Sea“!
The closing night of VBS was held on Wednesday July 9th. The meal consisted of chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, fruit, and make your own ice cream sundae. The bible story read by Logan Bruce was Jonah and the Whale. Cooper led the kids in a game that was so exciting that the adults got in on the fun. Mrs. Kelsey Dacci helped them to make a Jonah craft. Everyone enjoyed their big sea adventure for the week. The Director, Tammy Bruce, invited everyone back for VBS 2026 and handed out a miniature suitcase to go along with the theme “On The Road“.
A very special thanks goes out to the adults who helped make this year’s VBS a success!
Monday July 8th was the first night of VBS-Follow the Star! Everyone enjoyed a meal of baked spaghetti, bread, salad, and the-all-important cookies. After reading the nativity story from the Bible, “Mary“ visited us and told us about the night Jesus was born. She taught us our scripture for the week from Jeremiah 29:13. Everyone had a great time playing bowling and Put the Baby in the Manger (played like Pin the tail on the Donkey). Ms. Kelsey Dacci guided us thru the steps in making several ornaments for our trees this coming Chrsitmas.
Everyone arrived full of excitement for day 2 of VBS-Follow the Star. The evening began with a meal of pizza, chips and fruit. Then we heard about how the shepherds reacted to their visit from the angels announcing Jesus’s birth. Since the theme for the evening was shepherds, games were played with candy canes and the Story of the Candy Cane was read to all. The children loved playing percussion instruments while singing Christmas carols. Before the evening finished everyone started working on a nativity lantern made from canning jars.
The last night of VBS-Follow the Star was held one Wednesday, July 10th. The meal consisted of hotdogs, tater tots, fruit, baked beans, and cupcakes and ice cream for dessert. “The Magi“ arrived to tell of his journey to find baby Jesus. Then a bingo game-Follow the Star- was played before playing a game to receive the first Christmas gift of 2024. Each child received a flashlight, because Jesus came as the Light of the World and each child was asked to shine their light for Jesus. The nativity lanterns were finished and then each child filled a necklace with frankincense. It was a wonderful week of celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus!
