Wow, what a week!
Emceeing a week of VBS is quite exhausting as some of you know well yourselves. I had a blast!
Tonight one group raised $115 for the offering meaning that I would fall victim to 23 water balloons at the close of the evening. Those 23 hit their mark very well tonight and I was left cold and wet.
In all, the kids raised over $500 this week for Nicaragua! That’s a new record for our church’s VBS offering!
Tonight’s “special guest” brought some interesting reptiles that the kids LOVED!
Most exciting, tonight, at least 2 kids made first-time commitments to Jesus Christ with their small-group leader! I had the opportunity to pray with both of them just moments after they made that decision! What a privilege!
Pictures from our wonderful Amazon Expedition VBS are here: DAY 1 | DAY 2 | DAY 3 | DAY 4 | DAY 5
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:
