SUMMER FUN

6/25/2013

A few days ago, we ended a WONDERFUL week at COTHA hosting Vacation Bible School to approximately 200 young people wanting to get to know Jesus and have fun doing it by joining us at “Kingdom Rock.” I’ve got to say WOW; things sure have changed since I was a little girl attending Vacation Bible School!  I can vividly remember sitting outside as a small group (the whole VBS probably included 10-12 youngsters). Our teacher would sit us underneath a big shade tree and read bible verses to us while we ate cookies and drank red Kool-Aid out of tiniest of Dixie cups! The smell of summer lingers in my mind, and to this day, I can immediately conjure up the scent that came from the Ivory bar of soap we were given to carve as our craft project. There were always honey bees flying from one flower to the other and even occasionally lighting on the many dandelions we sat among.  We used small little blunt scissors to cut hearts and flowers out of colored construction paper that we would take home to our moms to hang on the ice box door!
Fast forward….KINGDOM ROCK... 200 kids dancing to live music, a 17’ dragon named Yahtzee (which looked like he was 100’TALL!!) towering above the altar in the sanctuary blowing smoke out of his nostrils as he bellowed out how God helps us STAND SRONG ! Princesses floated around in beautiful and colorful gowns and knights in shining amour led the youngsters through songs and scripture teaching them the same. It was so fun watching these 200 young ones having so much fun and learning so many wonderful life lessons! YES GOD’S KINGDOM REALLY DOES ROCK!!!!
