SKY Vacation Bible School   Jul 29-Aug 2, 2012


After dinner, VBS opens Sunday w/ Up & Away Sing & Play

The girls sit with their different age group class

Erin with the 2-3 year olds & Alex with the 4-5

Day 1: No matter who you are . . . trust God

Kids experience the daily Bible story in a hands-on way

By playing games that connect with the daily Bible Point

Reach in the bucket and dig out a toy

Take your toy, step back and get ready to learn

Kids use gizmos to explore the Bible Point in crazy ways

Erin is learning with a yellow paper clip!

Alex makes a face with googly eyes and blond yarn hair

Let's add a little more red to the lips

It is Erin's turn to learn the same lesson

She even grabs the same sponge Alex had

People judge appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart

Dance to the music after sponges are put away

Erin makes her person during crafts

She will name her face with brown hair "Grrrr"

Alex enjoys Wild Blue Bible Adventures with the group

Monday - Alex has fruit while daddy has sloppy joes

Erin is not a sloppy joe fan either

The whole group gathers for Up & Away Sing & Play

Then the individual classes go off to their rooms

Erin hears Monday's Wild Blue Bible Adventure

Today's point: No matter how you feel . . . trust God

Alex is outside playing with the parachute

Alex helps keep the ball up in the air

Alex makes a lion during crafts

Erin makes an elephant after bouncing the parachute

Tuesday - Alex has chips while momma fetches hotdogs

Erin digs in with the SkyDive Diner in the background

D&D are going to BWW while the girls are at VBS

Alex learns that no matter what people do . . . trust God

Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength

Erin needs to borrow a purse for her pony

Donna wins big tonight at Buffalo Wild Wings

The girls miss Wednesday due to Gymnastic class

Wed's point is that no matter what happens . . . trust God

Fly Away Finale helps cement the Bible truths at closing

Thursday's Up & Away Sing & Play

Alex leads 4-5 year olds back to their room afterward

Erin goes with the 2-3 year olds back to their room

The girls make a rattly bottle fish during crafts

Alex and Erin both work with a blue bottle

Shake the beads inside to make the noise

Thursday has the final Fly Away Finale

Thurs's point is no matter where you are . . . trust God!

David is photoed in the back of the congregation tonight

Be strong & courageous, do not be afraid or discouraged

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go

Ben fires up the group on the final night

SKY VBS helps kids see God's work in their lives

Let's have the big group roar/scream

Annnnnnnnnnnddddd . . . quiet!

Help kids discover God is still working in the world

God is active in our lives and with us every single day
