Vacation Bible School: Day 4
 |
| Apollo the Caterpillar |
In the morning we learned the verse for the day: "I am convinced that [nothing] will be able to separate us from the love of God." This passage (maybe familiar because it was featured in yesterday's post in the music paragraph) is from Romans 8:38-39.
During the Bible story, we got to carry a real wooden cross as we learned about the crucifixion and the resurrection (Matthew 27:32-28:20). Jesus trusted in God even in the midst of his very real pain and questioning. We can do the very same!
Musically, we learned "We Can Trust Him" (track 10 or you can listen to a bit by pressing the play button next to the tittle). This song, based on Psalm 33:43 reminds us that we can trust in God and in God's works.
Due to Friday's busy clean up, there will be no blog. But check back next week for a final blog wrap-up piece.

Vacation Bible School: Day 3

| Scout the Bald Eagle |
In the morning, we learned the key verse (along with hand motions) taken from Isaiah 40:31 -- "But those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles."
We began our two-day trek into the Paschal Mystery as we journeyed into the Garden of Gethsemane in search of Jesus and heard about his arrest and trial (Matthew 26:36-27:31). This story reminds us that Jesus faced betrayal and still trusted in God in the end.
Music brought out a slower song, "Nothing Could Keep Me From You," (track #4; or press the play button next to the song here) which is based on Romans 8:38-39. This song and verse remind us that God's love breaks through all potentially divisive powers of the universe.
Come back tomorrow for installment #4 VBS blogging.

Vacation Bible School: Day 2
 |
| Orville the Flying Pig |
Our key verse for the day was taken from the Gospel of John, Chapter 14, verse 1 -- "Do not let your hearts be troubled, believe in God."
In our Amazing Blue Bible Adventures, we learned about the raising of Lazarus (John 11). Even when we feel our worst (and who hasn't said "I feel dead!"), we can trust in God to bring us new life.
During music, we learned yet another catchy song, "Counting on God." Listen to it on CD track 7 or click on the play button next to the song here. No matter what's going on in our life, we can count on God to be there for us.
Check back tomorrow for more VBS fun!

Vacation Bible School: Day 1
 |
| Pat the Bat |
Our key verse for the day was from 1 Samuel 16:7: "The LORD does not see as mortals see...the LORD looks on the heart."
We also heard about the faith of the Roman centurion from Matthew 8:5-13. Jesus healed his daughter after Jesus saw the faith the Centurion had. May we have that same faith in our lives!
During music, we learned "You, You, You," which you can listen to by clicking on the play button next to the title on this page. This song reminds us that it doesn't matter who we are, we can trust God!
Visit tomorrow to see what we have in store for Day 2 of VBS!
