06.13.14 Vacation Bible School – Trinity Baptist Church style!!!

child like faithOur home church, Trinity Baptist Church had Vacation Bible School this week and I was able to help  with the 1st and 2nd grade group for two days.  When we left to live on the road, most of the kids now in the 1st and 2nd grade class were still in Pre-K or Kindergarten so the last I remember of them was keeping them in the Nursery on Sunday morning or night.  Wow have they grown!!!

This year’s theme was SonTreasure Island.   Today was their closing program where parents and grandparents were invited.   They performed four songs with hand motions that they learned this week and did great!  These little Wonders of God really made me happy to be home this week!

Shannon Tribble and Jeri Bankston lead VBS this week and did an outstanding job.  I’ve known these young ladies since they were very young Christian women and they have grown to be such strong mature Christian women.  Not old mature like me, just mature and still young!

I took some pictures throughout the week and want to share them with you now.  Our youth did a great job teaching the kids all the songs and hand motions and you’ll see them in the pictures too.

Helping with Vacation Bible School, working and having Madisyn spend the night Tuesday night rounds out the highlights of our week.  When Madisyn spent the night we watched ET again! and made a pallet on the floor like Chip and our oldest son did when they were little.  Chip and Madisyn will be going to church with us Sunday for Father’s Day.  I’m cooking afterwards and then we’re going to see a movie which is Chip’s Father’s Day gift to his dad Roy and I get to go too!!!

I’ve completed the project I was working on for RVillage.com and am now moving on to a different one.  This one is back in the advertising department where I started out, just doing different work now.  I really love this job that gives me some income while still having lots of free time to be retired in!

We’re hoping to take a road trip to Walters Peach Farm in Ellisville, Mississippi to get peaches next week or the following week.  We’ve eaten them before and they are by far the most delicious peaches we’ve ever had.
