Lifetime Church held its 2008 VBS in April. Since construction has not begun on our church property, we had to rent the facilities of a local college. Due to the holidays, they had only a few classes.
We had about 60 children gathered fro the five day event. The classes, games, songs, memory verses, and all the fun was enjoyed by the kids. Several of the children were hearing about Jesus for the first time. One of the kids responded after the first day: "Wow, so Jesus really can take away our sins."
Our final day was spent at Green Valley, a local community park. That day was packed with lots of fun, games, and food, topped off with a wild, exciting treasure hunt that the kids talk about even after two months.
(Update on my back problem: It was the week after the VBS that my back problem started. I spent six weeks almost completely in bed, and I am up now with limited mobility. Lots of rest is still needed. Thanks for your prayers.)
