God's Big Backyard

This year I was asked to help with music at our Vacation Bible School.  We had about 50 kids ages 3-5... woohoo!  What an adventure.  They were so cute & actually learned quite a bit, I think.  I know Teresa, my too young but with me anyway sidekick, is still singing the songs & reciting the challenge Bible verse they learned.  Rebecca knows all 5 Bible stories that we covered.  Love it.  I had so much fun getting to know all these sweet little kids, too.  Here's one group of kiddos.

 This was my favorite song:

With all my mind, with all my mind

With all my strength, with all my strength

With all my heart, with every beat of my heart

I'm gonna serve you, Lord!

This is the greatest commandment

to love God above all else.

Oh, this is the greatest commandment

& then to love my neighbor as myself.

 Carleen led the music as well & had so many fun ideas to keep so many hot & tired littles happy & having fun.

Oh, when the saints go skipping in...

This was such a clever way to keep all of the kids' projects separate.  They each had their own piece of fence "in God's Big Backyard" where they could hang their projects. 

What a fun & exhausting week!
