Vanessa still goes back to visit friends and family at Northwest Bible's VBS. Their theme was Ocean Commotion, which was a perfect followup to our vacation beach trip. They always have extra participation days, like dress as something related to the theme. Vanessa went as a jellyfish. After it was all said and done, she and Zane were invited back to participate in their marketing video. It was a great experience and they were both excited to do it for Him!
Violet Baptist did the same theme as our church -- Journey Off the Map -- except families hosted the events at their homes, to reach kids in their individual communities. We got to go over for a night. At the end they passed out communication cards asking kids to determine where they thought they were in their journey in a relationship with Christ. Zane took this very seriously. He wrote his name and as each option was shared, he marked that he was still thinking about the importance of a relationship with Christ. I was overly impressed and will pray for him!
The set for Guide Church's VBS was over the top this year, due to the awesome work of so many. Zane has been really sick and sadly missed out on the experience, but we're thankful I could facilitate crafts and Vanessa could bring friends. She even dressed the part one night but I didn't get a picture. It's amazing what so many will do to share the Word with so many little ones. My heart has been touched.
