VBS Pilgrim's Progress

Our church here in Jasper is having a VBS for the kids this week, and the theme is Pilgrim's Progress. It started last night, and when I tried to drop them off, Paul threw a fit and insisted he wouldn't have any fun! Of course, I made him stay, and when I went to take him home he was asking," Can we come back tomorrow?" So, as always, Mama knows best. The church went all out for this event, and I was REALLY impressed with the way they set things up. The brothers and sisters did such a good job decorating, and acting their parts, the kids looked really excited the whole time. I got some pictures, but I wasn't there for the beginning of the program. I think I walked in with my camera about halfway through. When I walked in the kids were dancing and singing with Pilgrim (Bro Chris) on their way back out of the City of Destruction. It was really sweet to see Paul dancing and holding his Bible way up in the air, I'm so sorry I didn't get a picture of that! They were taken to the sunday school room then to make necklaces with keys (keys of Promise), carrying their little "burdens", which were little black backpacks filled with rocks. I have a couple pictures, and hopefully get more tonight when the kids go to the cross to be rid of their burdens.

 Micah was scared of the tunnel they built through the church because of the fake spiders and bats they placed through it, so Sis Nonie carried him through.

 Gracie really enjoyed it all too!

It's 7 am and Paul just walked in my room while I'm working on this post, he's all dressed up with his key around his neck, and his Bible in his hand saying he's ready to go already! He's really upset that it doesn't start until 6 o'clock this evening.
