VBS-Pandamania

This past week Zane and I attended Vacation Bible School for Area IV and we had a blast! The theme was Pandamania - Where God is Wild about You. The kids all had a wonderful time and every day was centered on a different theme of how God love us.  The kids were divided into 2 groups: preschool and elementary. Every days lesson was based on the age of the children and all of the volunteers did an awesome job of showing how God is Wild about You.

Day 1-  God made you.  The children all learned about the story of creation and how God made all of us. The pre-schooler's received Panda ears to wear all week. I think that Zane managed to wear his for part of day 1 at the most.

Day 2- God listens to you. All the children learned the story of Elijah and how God sent fire down from heaven to Elijah's alter even after pouring water on the wood and rocks. God answered Elijah's prayer.

Day 3-God watches over you.  Today's lesson was about Jonah and the belly of the whale. The children learned that even when we choose to not listen to God, He will still watch over us and in the end we will do as He wants us too.  The elementary kids even got to sit inside "the belly of the whale," came complete with cans of sardines to give it life like feel. I don't have pictures as I didn't take my camera on a daily basis.

Day 4- God love you, no matter what. Today the lesson of Jesus dying on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and the resurrection- eternal life.

Day 5- God gives good gifts. Here the children talked about Hannah asking God to bless her with a baby. The children learned that God blesses us every day.

These pictures are from the last day of VBS.
