A big F A T Wahoo!! VBS was a blast this year as we took the ride of our lives at SonWorld Adventure Park. First Kids stepped up to the challenge and invited friends, family, neighborhood buddies, school buddies, and probably even strangers. The result? Average attendance at about 520 kids, and 118 volunteers.

DAWG! Aren't you proud of yourselves? Well, you should be. You guys were awesome. There were no 911 calls, no vomit comet kits used, and Pastor Jerry didn't even crack open his bottle of Antacid. I'm totally impressed.

Even better than all that, 12 kids were baptized at our Friday Family Fun night. And as you can see, they had the support of five hundred kids in the choir right behind them. So after our baptisms, Drama (arggghhhh!), and music presentation we headed outside for an evening of food, fun, and friends. The rock wall, laser tag arena, bounce houses, giant slip-n-slides, and water slides kept everyone busy. And wet. And the hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, snow cones, and drinks kept everyone energized for another round of fun. Now, I didn't get to see much of the outside fun ( I was cleaning up about 15 tons of confetti in the choir loft :) but I heard about it. You guys know how to throw a party!!!

To top it all off, our VBS offering totalled 818.72! I can't wait til next year!
