VBS Part 2

5 days of VBS has finally come to an end. All that's left is VBS concert tomorrow. I can't believe I actually gave up going to Irau for this concert. For now, my only prayer is that the kids will remember what they have learnt this whole week, and continue to grow in their faith.

VBS format is simple. We follow the same format everyday, but each day we do different things in each station. Firstly we start off the day with Worship Rally Lagoon, where all classes come together to sing and dance.

Singing and Dancing

After which we'll all return to our respective classrooms, a.k.a Bible Study Beach Hut, where there will be a Bible lesson. Each day we touch on different truths about God. Day1 is God is real, day2 is Jesus is the God's son, day 3 is Jesus is the only way, day4 is the Bible is God's word, and day5 is my action shows what I believe. Lessons were made interesting with role plays and games, not forgetting chocolates and prizes!

After classes its Music Falls. Similar to the starting Worship Rally Lagoon, but this time its only the Std5 and 6s. This time kids will get to learn the steps for all 6 dances in detail. They also use this time for concert practice.

After Music Falls is Recreation Reef. This is 20mins of pure fun with games. Everyday a different game is played. All simple yet interesting.

Obstacle course ahead

After games is Snack Shack. I must say the food prepared were really good. The kids went on with 2nd and 3rd helpings. Yummm.. Too bad no photos =(

Next is Craft Cabana/Mission Lookout. Basically the kids will make a craft here. But for the std5&6, invited speakers share and tell the kids the importance of missions, and encourage all of them to pray for missionaries around the world. Nevertheless there will still be a smaller and simpler craft to be done.

After Missions Lookout, the kids will return to Bible Study Beach Hut (classroom) for the closing up of lesson. Lastly is Worship Rally Lagoon again, then Home Sweet Home.

Never a moment have I regretted helping VBS. Though it may be tiring, but it's really a joy to see kids so hyped up over God's word. God bless all of you!
