The kids have been very helpful in preparing for our Parish's Vacation Bible School.
We outlined five bible verses (one for each day) on poster board and then colored them with markers.
We worked at Vacation Bible School as a family last year and had a blast. I was delighted to be asked back and again wanted to to make it a family project.
We started the decorating the week before. The theme is a "Wilderness Adventure Through the Sacraments". Our Director is putting together a hiking mountain man who resembles John The Baptist.
Sam brought in his Halloween prop of a left hand which is attached to the nylon hose stuffed arm.That's Sam's new tent in the background which ties in well with a "hiking in the wilderness" theme.
There were a couple of wigs to choose from to make our mountain man look rustic which entertained the helpers.
It has been nice having the kids at church many nights this week, helping to set this big production up. My hope is that if they jump into the "middle" of joining church related functions, it will be harder for them to "fall off" the edge of practicing their faith. Besides all that, it's fun to be involved!
