Our second day of VBS went very well! There are a few of us who were feeling under the weather and stayed back today to sleep, but we were all able to jump in and fill in their parts and it went very well.
The color of the day today was red. The story was about Jesus dying on the cross, and how his red blood covers all of our sins. We gave each child a notecard with their name on it, and then they colored over it with a red marker, symbolizing Jesus' blood covering their sins. We then nailed all of their notecards on to a wooden cross we brought along. It was pretty cool. For their craft, the kids decorated foam crosses with stickers. For the snack, the kids got a piece of red jello that they could cut a cross out of with cross cookie cutters, and then a half of a piece of pull and peel licorice. The kids also had the chance to play around with balloons. For the large group game, we played with water balloons- we did a relay game, and then played toss with them. The kids absolutely loved them! It was so cute to watch.
It was a great day. We're looking forward to a warm afternoon of caring for children. It should be a great time!
We've been having so much fun watching the little hit counter on the side of the blog, watching how many people are checking up on us! Thank you! Please continue to pray for us; pray especially for health and safety as there are several of us who aren't feel too well.
I'll try to add some pictures shortly- this computer isn't cooperating right now!
