Energy, Enthusiasm,
Commitment.
These words describe the atmosphere at this year’s VBS. We
tried something different and it was a success. This year,
families were able to attend together. Fellowship Hall was
transformed into the Garden of Eden with cardboard scenes
painted by Judy Leininger. During the week, some scenery was
moved to the sanctuary for our performance on Sunday, July 18.
This years’
intergenerational participants were able to learn music and
words to all 8 songs in the musical, “Adam’s Apple”, as well as
learning the motions and speaking parts. We had 49
participants, ranging in age from 2 to adults. Many families
joined together. We were able to have so many participants
because we had several members who did an exceptional job of
witnessing. Neighbors and relatives accepted their invitations.
The musical featured
Caitlin as Eve and Brandon as Adam. Caitlin and Emily had
solos. Sharon and Catherine reminded us during their solo/duet
that God is always there to listen to our prayers. Their
singing was very moving.
Besides learning our
musical, the preschoolers and elementary children participated
in crafts and games each evening. Thanks to Janet Klos and Lily
Klos respectively for their help. Adults also made their sneaky
snake for the musical with the guidance from Sherry Davis.
Prior to Saturday’s
rehearsal, Zoo America was at the pavilion and presented their
native PA animals. Lillian did a fantastic job showing and
telling us about the birds and mammals. She also answered
questions about other animals.
