VBS

This year we had an amazing ministry team travel from Mount Calvary Baptist Church in SC to come and help us with our VBS/Teen Challenge. It was such a wonderful week!!!

Jerid, Michelle and the kids were part of the team, so that was an extra blessing!!
This year was Abby's first VBS. She was not too sure of the whole thing. She cried the first day and did okay for the other days. She didn't smile much or laugh at all. But she stuck with one of her teacher's, Miss Eliza, for most of the week.

The Mount Calvary team did a great job with VBS...and I especially loved the ladies classes. They were taught by such Godly ladies and I was grateful for the chance to sit in on them and be blessed by them.
There was also a comical duo the whole week: none other than Jeremiah and Josiah! They did a skit each day and they were simply hilarious!

I do have to mention, that Abby had a fear of one of the teen guys. Poor Mr. Clay tried so hard to befriend Abs, but she just frowned or even cried when she saw him. I am happy to report, however, that by the last day....she did smile at him, laugh at him and even high-five him! There was another sweet girl, Jamie, who really went out of her way to make Abby smile. She and Abby became buds in no time.

It was also so special that both Abby and Grace each had a cousin in their class. Gracie and Makenna were holding hands and always together, while Abby and Michael were in their own class shedding some nervous tears side by side.
VBS was in the mornings, while the Teen Challenge was at night. A full week...jam-packed with blessings!! We praise the Lord for this group and we miss them already.....
