Saddle Ridge Ranch

Last week was VBS

{Vacation Bible School}

at our church!

The theme was "Saddle Ridge Ranch."

We met every evening, and had an average of 247 people attending.

Which is pretty amazing, considering we are aren't in a heavily populated area, and yet, there is a church of some sort on every corner.

15 people made a first time profession of faith!!! :)

I taught 2nd grade, and the kids in my class were precious!

On Friday night, we had a Commencement Service, which included a drama/musical.

David played a lead role, as Brendon.

~Below, they are gathering to go over their lines one last time before the performance.~

The backdrop was painted by a VERY talented lady in our church, Amy R. It was magnificent!

The covered wagon, below, was built and loaned to us by a man from a nearby church.

The production begins...

April S., who did a great job directing the children in music during the week, is wearing our "VBS T'shirt," and contains the key verse for VBS.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." ~James 1:5 (NIV)

Got ?'s ~ Ask God

Two brave souls in our church,

or maybe I should say, VERY brave ones,

"did a jig," of the movements during the song "Tumbleweed!"

And not just because I'm his mother, ...I must say he did an awesome job!

I was really proud of him! :)

For the last song, the actors joined the choir of singers!

I directed VBS last year, and a part of me missed that.

But our director for this year, Debbie S. did a wonderful job!!!

Kevin, my husband, helped with the nightly snacks, and they made 75 gallons of kool-aid!!!

~What is VBS without kool-aid & cookies! :)
