Here's a glimpse of the Kirkville puppets singing the Coca-Cola grace to talk about "those who come to me will never go thirsty." The first skit the kids wrote had to do with the Passover meal we learned about (lamb, bitter herbs, and flatbread.) It was set at Subway, where all these ingredients were making their way onto a sandwich. A second skit talked about the Last Supper- notice the elements in the form of a tortilla and a juicebox on Jesus, below. So these creative kids had lots of fun last week! 
My younger kids had fun sharing their Bible verses and we all ended with "Pharaoh Pharaoh." Then some of the parents and older kids helped us pack up, and I was off to another next week- Shake it Up, Take 5!
This week we are at Pershing, and it is an absolute joy to be there. Peg helped unload on Monday, and we were both impressed right away when the pastor told us she had been preaching on the Bible stories we're doing this week. What a fantastic way to prepare volunteers! And we have some remarkable volunteers. They're taking plenty of ownership of this VBS, and it is easy to tell how genuinely thrilled they are to see all of these kids. The last time there was a Bible school in this community was when one of our adult volunteers (in her 30s or 40s) was in high school. It was hard to tell how many kids would come, but the first day brought 19 and yesterday there were 24. I'm excited to finish out this week!
