Noah Vacation Bible School Night 3



In tonight's production Noah, his family and all the animals were in the ark.  Ms. Jennifer had scaffolding set up to demonstrate to the kids the three levels of the ark.  We sang a lot of animal and rain songs!
 
Each night before the actual Bible story begins there is a short skit with Caleb, Abigail & our minister, Mr. James.  The three are positioned in a boat fishing.  The skit is to signal the kids to settle down for the Bible study.  It also gives the opportunity to insert modern children's questions about the Bible story. 
 
I had the best time writing this portion of the nightly dramas. The skit featured an older 'know-it-all' brother and a younger annoying sister.  Since I live that scenario, the skits practically wrote themselves! 
 
I did throw in a few 'shout outs' to Frankie, for example the kids were fishing for the sisters Camp Fire fishing badge.  They also mentioned selling 714 boxes of Camp Fire candy.  Frankie was in Camp Fire for twelve years and in 1993 Frankie won Top Candy Sales selling 714 boxes of candy. 

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you,
whatever you did for one of the least
of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me.’
Matthew 25:40
