Hard to believe our VBS Magnified Adventure is already more than halfway through—what a week it’s been! Day 3 is often when the energy dips… but not this year! Today was packed with excitement and joy, all thanks to our incredible team of leaders who kept the momentum high and the smiles even higher.
The kids are doing an amazing job with their daily memory verses and are absolutely loving our special guests, Nolan and Dr. Magnus MacGarnigal. These two adventurers have been using the Magnificent Magnification and Miniaturization Machine to explore the tiniest wonders of nature-revealing that every creature, big or small, was made to magnify God. If you haven’t heard about these fun characters yet, be sure to ask your kids-they’ve got stories to tell!
The kids had a full and fun day rotating through all our activities! In crafts, they created beautiful butterflies, designed to actually fly! They put so much care into coloring and crafting their masterpieces, and it showed.
During story time, Alysia, Claire, Ellery, and Caroline brought the Bible lesson to life in such a meaningful way. Today, the kids learned about the woman at the well, a Samaritan woman who met Jesus and realized He was no ordinary man. Jesus told her He is the promised Savior, and she couldn’t keep the good news to herself. She shared it with others, and many in her town came to believe in Him.
Our kids zoomed in on a powerful truth: God is not OK with sin, but He still loves sinners like me. Because of Jesus, we can be confident that God loves us. NO MATTER WHAT.
We also learned a new song today, “SPINNIN’” Be sure to play the music at home so your child can practice all the moves (and maybe teach you a few!).
We had an incredible turnout today with so many kids bringing in money for our friends at Vision de Dios. What generous hearts! The excitement was real as everyone waited to hear whether the BOYS or the GIRLS would come out on top.
Well… drumroll please… the GIRLS crushed it again and are officially in the lead! HOOORRAAYY! 🎉 But don’t count the boys out just yet—there are still two more days to give and help support Apoyo Para Estudiantes in Tijuana, Mexico.
We’ve been blown away by the creativity and dedication of our campers. Just yesterday, kids and leaders were running lemonade stands, selling cookies…even dino nuggets, with all proceeds going to support students in need. Now that’s what it looks like to make a difference!
Our memory verse for the week is:
PROCLAIM THE LORD’S GREATNESS WITH ME: LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER. -PSALM 34:3
