Christ Lutheran VBS

The week after our vbs, we went to a different one. They separated us by which grade we were going into, so I was in 4th grade. Eben was in 5th grade, so I didn't get to see him. There were a lot of volunteers! In each grade there were at least 4 helpers! On my team there were 2 people named Kevin. They were both helpers. I made a friend named Emma who had been ''going to that vbs for many years.'' We had a nice teacher that gave us candy if we said our verse. All of the verses except for the first one were from 1st Corinthians 13, so I knew them already. It was Island themed. They had a lot of decorations! On thursday night there was a performance. We did not go be cause Mama had not heard about it.

VBS

This year at vbs, our church did a theme on the Israelites going to the Promise Land. Mr. Logan was Moses. Mama was the dance leader again, and this year  Eben was one of her dance helpers. Mama had to talk him into it. I was on team Dan. Our cheer went like this: '' Dan, Dan, we are the clan. Our only weapon is a frying pan; we go to battle, we go to war. And everywhere we go we praise the Lord! On this land we trod, we will trust in God!  I was on Ms. Dolores's team. This year at the market place, there was butter. I tried to make it three times. The first 2 times I tried, I had glass containers and they both broke. The third time I tried I had a plastic container with no marble and it still broke. All you had to do to make it was shake it up and down! Also at the market there were animals. On thursday, it was our turn to bring our half-grown chicks. On the 1st day there was a pony and 3 goats. More people liked the chicks than the pony! I guess it was because you could only brush out the pony and goats, and could catch, pet, hold and feed the chicks. There was also a bakery which I went to 2 times. At Moses time, we went through the red sea, ate manna and quail, and heard Moses snore. It was really fun this year.
