The hearts of the Children

 

What a fun week we had at VBS. This years mission project was raising money for the Amazima Feeding Program. This was very special to me because I will be visiting Katie Davis http://www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/ on my mission trip and will be part of this Feeding Program while I am there. Sarah and Julie did such a good job at teaching the children about the Feeding Program and why there is a need for it.Thes children worked so hard to bring in money for the kids in Uganda. I heard that some  were having lemonade stands,some gave all of their allowances and some gave away birthday money.In the end the children raised about $1,000.00 and w/ a very generous donation all together we were able to donate $2,000.00 for the Amazima Feeding Program. Even now, I write this w/ teary eyes. What a blessing and soon I will see those little children in Africa and be feeding them myself. :0)

We definitely needed to reward the children at VBS for their great efforts and giving ways. Since , the theme was High Seas Expedition, we decided that the reward would have to do w/ water and since some of the pastors were getting the kids wet during the week........hmmmmmmm............there was only one thing to do: The Pastors must Walk the plank!!!!!

First, the kids had to find all of the  pastors.

The Plank

Let the bombing begin. :0) The kids got to throw water balloons at them and try to knock them in.

I think Sailor Jack is going down.
