2010 Vacation Bible School


Vacation Bible School at St. Matthew's Evangelical was held the evenings of June 28 through July 1, 2010. The theme was "BEING A ROCK SOLID CHRISTIAN". VBS was again presented by Glenda and Mike Mann.

For the four evenings of our 2010 VBS, our attendance was 24, 25, 29, and 26. We were very pleased with the turnout and are grateful to everyone who helped with VBS. As always, everyone had a wonderful time at VBS! The church was filled with joy, music and laughter!

With the help of Glenda and Mike and their puppets Gertrude the Dog, Calypo the monkey, Billie, and Hector the Ostrich, the children learned lessons and songs and acted out skits about Daniel in the Lion's Den, Balaam and the talking donkey, and keeping our "Hearthouses" clean. Each day except Thursday a light meal was served. Crafts included making "talking donkey" puppets, and decorating the treat bags that were later filled with gifts and treats and taken home at the end of VBS. During the week, the children also got to take home some wonderful balloon creations made by Glenda.  Closing night was extra special as the children sang the songs they learned, and the magic show included the appearances of a live bunny and dove. Hector the Ostrich helped with one trick where it appeared he might lose his head! Then to top it off, one of the children got sawed in half (but he was successfully mended with a giant bandaid)!
