VBS "KINGDOM ROCK" ROCKS NORTH RIVER!This past week more than 80 dedicated volunteers worked together to
transport 119 kids (including 23 visitors) to "Kingdom Rock" North River's
2013 Vacation Bible School! From the first day, greeted at the door by a
knight in armor, to the last Pizza party, our kids had fun, learned how to
Stand Strong in God's love, prayed, sang, met amazing Biblical characters,
and got to know children in other churches across the world!
Some of the highlights:
. Watching King Josiah smash idols during Bible Adventure time
. Meeting children from Romania and other churches in the Royal Theatre
. Doing the coolest science experiments ever (with spiritual lessons attached) in Imagination Station
. playing wild wild wild Tournament Games
. Pulling together to give over $240 dollars (mostly in coins) for school supplies for poor children in Africa!!!!
The "God Sighting" wall, where the children post the ways they have seen God in their lives during VBS week, shows clearly how the hearts of the children
were changed by their time in Kingdom Rock. They saw God working everywhare.
. "God healed my Mom from her pain"
. "the food"
. "Karissa's phone stopped working then she prayed and it started working again"
. "Able to confess and share to an adult that understands"
. "Dad saved a cat"
. "I saw a kid let another kid go first"
. "My dog prayed with me this morning"
. "When Stanford gave up his bagel"
. "I saw God because of VBS"
. "Light, so we can see cookies"
. "When we were singing and dancing, I could feel and see God's love around us"
. " Jasmine was sent to VBS"
. "Mya got a new friend"
. "When Kyler almost shared a marshmallow"
. "the cooks"
. "Walking to Wendy's 4 times and car almost hit me every time. Because of God, nothing happened"
A Super THANKS to Lauren Arnett and her wonderful team of talented and
