Vacation Bible School: Jesus Victorious Donkey Ride

Tonight at Vacation Bible School, children made their own snacks in the shape of a pathway, like the road on which Jesus came into Jerusalem.

For the craft tonight, we made a depiction of stained glass crosses. We remembered the reason why Jesus rode into Jerusalem, to die for our salvation.

We will wrap things up tomorrow by remembering how Jesus died for us on the cross and rose to life again in Victory, so He will always be our Mighty Fortress.

Storms don't stop VBS!

The crazy wind and thunderstorms hit right at the start of VBS tonight, but that didn't stop the fun at St. Paul's tonight!  Learning how King Hezekiah's priest found the "Book of the Law" that had been lost in the temple for many years, making scroll snacks and burning off energy in an obstacle course are some of the activities the kids participated in tonight.  Hearing the children of our church and community reading from 2 Kings, and discussing the fact that God forgives people when they are sorry for the bad things they have done shows that the church is alive and well in Fredericksburg.

A MIGHTY FORTRESS (Vacation Bible School 2017)

Who is Hezekiah?  Ask the children who attended our Vacation Bible School tonight!  (But don't be surprised if they reply, in a sing-song voice "Nanny, nanny boo, boo" )  Tonight's lesson was based on 2 Kings 18.  They made shields, had sweet and salty treats and knocked down castle walls as they learned about King Hezekiah.  Was he victorious?  Ask the kids and see!
