Answer: A trip to EGYPT! Not modern day Egypt, but ancient Egypt...
I had the privilege of co-directing (with Tricia Irby) Vacation Bible school this year and we went back in time and journeyed with Joseph from the prison to the palace! We have been planning and thinking about it since December (hence the blogging break) so it was wonderful to see the fruits of months of work...
It's hard to say what was my favorite part so here some of the highlights:
~Kick-off Opening Worship and fellowship meal...Our boys sang "How Great Is Our God!" during worship! And whole families (including dads) got to experience some VBS fun...It was just wonderful and Spirit-filled.
~My parents and niece coming for Day 1. Seeing my dad and mom (but especially my dad--who would have ever guessed!) dressed to be shopkeepers (pictures forthcoming) was a God-Sighting for me! They were such a big help. AND Thomas was thrilled to have Kate help in his family group.
~The Music! I loved how each song praised our One True God or taught scripture.
~The Decorations--A marketplace in Clingman Commons and in the Assembly Hall...really?Every where the decorations were awesome....and I truly believe lead by the Holy Spirit!
~The 4th/5th graders did not want to miss visiting Joseph...They were going to do a service project off campus but wanted to see Joseph first! That's huge! Actually, all the children anticipated their visits with Joseph with excitement and retained the truths of the Bible from their visits.
~Bible Memory Makers! The children really learned their Bible verses and the symbols on the memory makers, walls, t-shirts, all reinforced the truths in them....
~God Sightings....I love how kids can see God working in places adults can't. A loose tooth is a God Sighting to a six year old :) Our pyramid built as a memorial to the One True God was a precious part of the week.
~And on and on and on...It was a great week!
