Our church hosted a Vacation Bible School-Family Style.  It was 3 nights and families attended, not just the kids.  The format was large group songs,  the lesson in the form of a play, structured activities in smaller groups, then large group wrap up.\n<\/p>\n

DAY ONE<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Angela and Debi, our awesome leaders!
\n\"\"
\n1st Activity:
\nWe learned about combining influences.  We took a bottle of Pepsi and a couple of Mentos.  By themselves they don’t do much, but look what happens when you combine the two.  The lesson was how powerful the combination of intentional parenting and the church influences a child’s life.
\n\"\"
\n2nd Activity:
\nthe boys had to throw a dry sponge and see how far it went.  Then, they threw a sponge that was full of water.  They were able to throw MUCH farther with the wet sponges.  The lesson showed how much farther you can go being full of Jesus.
\n\"\"\"\"
\n3rd Activity:
\nWe made our own rocket; to be used on the last night.

\n‘R’s reaction to finding out he was going to get cotton candy on the last night…

\nDAY TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our friend, Jeff, playing "Grandpa Henry"
\n\"\"
\nActivity 1:
\nWe made smaller rockets.  These are really cool!  You take a 35mm plastic film canister and wrap paper around it, lid side down.  Add the rocket top and flaps.  Place a little bit of water in the canister, add one Alka Seltzer tablet, close the lid quickly, and place on the ground.  The rocket pops up!  After a while, the older kids decided it was more fun to remove the "Rocket" part and just play with the canisters.  You could hear the kids shouting, "fire in the hole" and we’d all wait to see the canisters shoot into the air.
\n(Remember the cutie in this picture?  This is ‘M’.  I babysat her a couple years ago during the school year when she was in half day kindergarten.)

The church created a carnival on the last night.  There were blow up, bouncy toys…
\n\"\"
\nA terrific blacklight room where the kids drew all over papered walls with highlighters.

\nWe launched our big rockets…<\/p>\n

\nWe also participated in a service project, filling backpacks full of school supplies, to be donated to a local community\/social services organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
