The responsibility of making sure everything had a name on it…
Keeping track of time for 20 kids…
Encouraging 20 kids by letting them make creations they way they wanted to…
Doing it all with a measure of grace that reflects Jesus!

Priceless!

It has happened - The Lord has given us the ability to carry out another great week of VBS! We planned for 310 kids and ended up with 410! In all of this God provided all that we needed to carry it out, and only with minor cost additions. He is so Good!
