"GO FOR THE GOLD"
Yes, Go for the Gold was the theme for our VBS this year.
It was a lot of fun watching the children learn so much in such a short time.
I believe the highest attendence was 239, tonight the last night they had 222.

They had so many Bible Stories referring to racing and running for the gold.
Some of the stories they had skits with the stories and flannel graph up on the screen. It was so neat how they had it all put together. Bro. & Sis. Gorduke did a lot of the story telling and scripture. Mrs. Deckard, ( the boys Kindergarten teacher) did a story that continued every night. It still isn't done. Sunday Morning she will finish the story. Then Sonja Vernon did a Vantrilaquist name Willie, the boys and girls really enjoyed Willie. They also had Bro. Churchill do a "Science" time. It was really interesting with what he would show the boys and girls with different things about science yet it would have to do with what they were trying to help the boys and girls understand things about God. Thank you to all.

These pictures are of the platform for the setting of VBS.

They had taken offerings and the boys seem to be running away with all the medals.
But tonight the girls won it. The boys had around $46.00 and the girls had $115.00. So I guess that means that the girls won it tonight.
When we ended the program the boys won it over all.
They had 9 medals on their chart. The Girls had 5.

This is where the boys registered and said their Memory Work. I was part of that in helping.
I sat in the chair between the two ladies you see here.
Sister Faith Tofte on the left, and Sister Joyce Olson on the right. The far right is Sister Going.

Every night the adults sitting with the children had medals like Ethan is wearing in the picture here. They would take a medal and put on a child they felt that was being quiet. They called it the quiet seat. There were of course several of them. After the program was over they had to take their medal and hand it in for a prize.

Ethan recieved one tonight, he also got one the first night of VBS.

Evan recieved one the first night also.

Then Easton recieved one the second and third night. I will have to be honest I was so proud of him the first night, he was so good. Then when he got it the second time we were all amazed. You really have to know him to know. But then on the other hand, whewww tonight was a different story. I think the nap he had in the afternoon helped him to be raring to go.

Well, we have to say good bye to another yet GREAT VBS.
I just want to say for all those who put it together and worked so hard to help boys and girls know about Jesus, you did a beautiful job. The decorating was just perfect and a wonderful job. Thank you.

I want to say a BIG Thank You, for all you do for the boys and girls. Boys and Girls have always been my calling and since I haven't been able to work with them like I once did I really appreciate those who are able.
Then those who Volunteered and helped with the children during the Program each night thank you so much. I know how much it means to see people who are willing to put aside their time to help the children. Thank You!
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you do again real soon.
