Yee-haw!!!
The 50 young-uns who spent the week on Avalanche Ranch, 28 teen crew leaders, over a dozen adult helpers, and more than 60 family members and friends gathered in the chapel on Friday morning for a final CELEBRATION of our VBS week. The kids sang their hearts out, Sarah Wood (our Christian Education director and VBS coordinator) shared what the kids have learned this week, and I prayed. The Spirit of God was present among us in a powerful way. It was a truly awesome time. Yippie-i-o-ki-ay!!!
Quote of the day from one of the young-uns: "Can God really do stuff like that [heal people]? That's so cool."
Quote of the day from one of the parents: "My daughter doesn't want this to end. Is there some kind of program she can come to during the school year?" (My heart leapt . . . "YES!!! How about Sunday School?! . . ." Wah-hoo!)
Thanks be to God for wonderful kids and teen helpers and adult helpers. And SPECIAL thanks to God for the gift that Sarah Wood has been to us, serving as Director of Religious Education and VBS Director. She's "retiring" from her position as DRE, but she promises we'll be seeing her at church and involved at St. Paul's in other ways. We're SOOOOOOO blessed to have Sarah as part of our lives. THANKS, SARAH!
Yee-haw!
Blessings,
