Kingdom Rock

After RBC camp, we had a week off, then we started our second (and last) VBS for the summer.  We had several friends from church who were attending this VBS in Clarksburg, so we decided to join in on the fun too.

 Unfortunately, the girls weren't put in the same group with any of their friends, but it was a great opportunity for them to meet new friends!   Jillian's favorite thing about this VBS was the daily science experiments (and the snacks were pretty special too).  Faith was very excited to learn about a real queen from the Bible, Queen Esther!!   It was a great week for the girls and Anna and I had a great week hanging out with a couple of mommy friends & their toddlers.

Jillian was very excited to see Anna and me as she walked into the multi-purpose room for the assembly.

Every day the leaders shared a new story about a Biblical character.  As they shared the story, they flashed up photos of kids showing the action or emotion the character was feeling. In this photo, Jillian (and the other kids too) are looking mad!  They have their hands in fists too! 

For the younger kids, the VBS leaders took candid shots of the kids doing activities. This is Faith's new friend Noa! They became good friends during the week.  

The kids watching the slideshow and singing along with the songs.

This was Jillian's teacher, Mrs. Kim! She was a very nice lady and always able to get Jillian to smile a big smile. :-)

Another photo of Faith and Noa together.  At first I thought "Noa" was a shortened version of Noah!! But actually Noa is a Biblical name all on it's own. Noa was one of five daughter of Zelophehad (he is mentioned in the books of Numbers and Joshua).  Noa's mom's name is Tirzah, which is one of the other five daughters.  I thought that was pretty cool.

Faith's leader was Miss Angela! She was very sweet and enthusiastic with the kids.  It was a super fun week.
