VBS 2013 Kingdom Chronicles

It's VBS week at our church and the place looks great.  Kids are coming and the Gospel is being taught every morning this week.  My kids are both old enough to be ineligible to participate but they can help!!  I love this new season of their lives.  Johnson is helping his dad and I to run "Sir Gavin's Games".  Hannah is helping to teach the primary class with 4 other teenagers and an adult supervisor.  I think I have that right but the groupings are different for VBS than our regular Sunday School.  I admit it confuses me.

The classes are broken down as:
1. 2-3 year olds
2. pre-primary which is 4, 5, and 6 year olds (This is a huge class!)
3. primary which are kids that just finished 1st and 2nd grade
4. middlers which are kids that just finished 3nd and 4th grade
5. juniors which are kids that just finished 5th and 6th grade

I will get room pictures as examples of how to decorate with a medieval knight decoration theme.  I will try not to get pictures with people in them so I don't have to get permission to use them.  I will post more tomorrow.

2012 IncrediWorld Amazement Park

Our church VBS program this year was from the people at Answers in Genesis.  It was called IncrediWorld Amazement Park.

It was the first time I had used their material for VBS.  It was great stuff!  Lots of details and ideas in their books.  Here are some more of our decorations:

Lots of time put in by lots of people at our church went into the making of this VBS.  I am always amazed at the talent God has given us.

Hannah taught a class with some of her teen friends.
Jim, Johnson, and I were in charge of the games this year.  We are just completing an addition to our church so we had the use of the new gym!  Yeah! It was wonderful!

We decorated the gym with houses to resemble what you would find in an amusement park.  We had concessions, photo hut, souvenir shop, and a ticket booth.

 On the last day of VBS we had a carnival in the gym complete with hotdogs, chips, and cookies.  The kids had a great time this week learning about the incredible world made by the Lord in just 6 days!
