VBS Day 2 ~ God Has a Perfect Plan for Each of Us!

Day 2 began with breakfast and devotion with the team.  We were blessed with a total of 108 kids for VBS today!  The final count for Monday's attendance was 105 kids. The two day total of dog attendance stands (on four legs) at 7!  Many pups and full-grown dogs show up at teen night as well.

Today we learned about the promise God made to Abraham and Sarah, that Sarah would have a baby - even when they were very old.  Best of all, God promised Abraham that someday the Savior would be one of his descendants.  The promised Savior came hundreds of years later but Abraham believed that God keeps His promises.  God gave Abraham the faith to believe and obey Him.  He gives us faith to believe Him, too, just like Abraham.  He speaks to us through the Bible, telling us that He is good, loving and faithful.  When we see from the Bible how God kept His promises to Abraham and that His plan was good and perfect, we know that God will also keep His promises to us and show us that He has a good and perfect plan for us, too.

God said, "I promise that I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky."

The kids are enthusiastic about the music, skits, puppet shows, games and snacks.  You can see this in the pictures! 
 
The giant beach ball is a hit!
 
Isn't it beautiful here?  God's Country!
 
Father Mark joins in on the Djembe!  He also plays the voice of God in the skits!
