This year's VBS theme was "Deal or No Deal" with the idea being take the deal that Jesus offers. Teaching children to rely on His strength, like Daniel; His promise, like Joseph; and God's safety like the lost lamb. Each day the kids began in the auditorium to hear the Bible Story thru our 'Deal or No Deal' program. Mr. Brad dressed like a 1960's version of Monte Hall from 'Let's Make a Deal', complete with one of Granddaddy's wide ties!

One of the props I made for our Deal or No Deal theme was silver suitcase filled with gold shekels! When contestants guessed the correct answer they were shown their winnings! Frankie played the part each day of a suitcase holder! Too cute! Another perk of having your mom write the scripts, you get roped into a part!

I love teaching the kids the Bible story! I hope one day my legacy will be all the children I've taught. This year we topped 330 kids!!!!

One of the fun parts with VBS is the Scripture Thief. Each year a 'character' steals portions of the memory verse forcing the kids to memorize the scripture so they will always have it with them. This year the scripture was laid out on a series of silver suitcases. On the final day of VBS the thief is caught, and taught that God's word is available to them and they don't have to steal it, they too can hide His words in their heart. The kids love this game and just howl when pieces of their scripture are stolen!

Abigail got a kick out of seeing mom on stage. Frankie and Caleb are used to mom teaching Bible stories, but Abigail gets a kick out of, 'that's my mom!' She and her buddies, Cade & Roy were together most of VBS.
Caleb assisted with the Bible Story portion of VBS. One of the practical application exercises they did was Caleb laying down and all the little kids picking him up with just 2 fingers! He was a little nervous about this exercise!
That is GREAT!
