2nd night of VBS

Again, another super fun night. The kids seem to really be enjoying it. Tonight Steve taught on "Believe". He did a really good job. He started with facts/myths about islands and such (remember the theme: "Soul Survivor". Actually he did not say facts or myths but rather "believe or not believe". (hinse the "believe" topic) Anyway, the two VLB's that got the most correct answers got to participate in a contest. The name of the Island this week is "Mount Wannahawkalugi" (something like that). The name is from the movie "Finding Nemo". Anyway, the two winners got to Hauk a loogie, with a hot dog. They had to see who could spit a bite of hot dog the farthest. Do you get it? (Wannahawkalugi.....Wanna hauk a loogie)?! Those kids loved it.

So, last night my "ice breaker" was how I got them with the emergency phone call that wasn't an emergency at all. And, Steve's ice breaker was Wanna Hauk a Loogie. Ha!

He spoke about having to put action behind believing. He used the example of jumping out of an airplane. You have on a parashutte and just at the right time you pull the cord for it to open. You "believe" that it will open but until you pull the chord (putting action behind your belief) it does you know good. If you never open the parashutte, you can believe all the way down and be a great big splat on the ground. Action comes behind believing. (Faith without works is dead!)
It was really good!

Tomorrow night our theme is "Resist". Bro. Shaw is teaching the class. I 'm sure, again, it will be awesome.

It's great to see all the visitors we are having. One lady from the neighborhood, saw our sign in the church yard and decided to bring her son. Just from us advertising with the sign, I know of two different families that have come. Isn't that great? It would be so wonderful if after VBS they continued to come.

So, until next time

c ya!
