After being pelted with 10 water balloons tonight (yes, one group raised over $50 for their offering tonight!) I was able to enjoy some fine moments with “Rose” the boa.
I didn’t die.

Tonight we had special guests from the Cream City Feathered Friends bird club. Always cool to have pooping birds in the church!
I also had FIVE water balloons thrown at me tonight by kids! The group that won tonight brought $25 for offering! I have a feeling that tomorrow will be even more!
After people left I was able to meet the birds up close and personal:
If you didn’t know already, the pictures from our 2-weeks in Pennsylvania are available here.

Here are some of my favorites:
Last night we began our 5-night VBS here at Our Savior’s Wesleyan.
61-kids showed up for the first night. With VBS-staff and parents who stuck-around, we had over 100 people gathered to enjoy this year’s “Amazon Expedition”-themed vacation Bible school.
All week I am playing the part of “Stevan” (unique, isn’t it?) an Amazon River Guide who is, of all things, scared of the water. I have a canoe and mini-camp setup on the stage and carry my trusted paddle with me wherever I go. Each night, the group with the most offering collected (offering goes to Nicaragua) will get to throw water balloons at me – made a bigger deal because I’m “scared” of the water. I get to introduce our guests each night as well as challenge students in their Scripture memory and introduce a different Amazon-animal fact each night.
VBS always messes up the weekly-routine, but the fruits of the work our church puts in are always worth the effort!
