The pews began to fill with eager Bible learners before 9 a.m. Saturday.
The Youth try to figure out the parachute.
Grab it Emma! It's getting away!
Okay, you guys. What can we play with that won't embarrass us or make anybody stare too much?
Jackson easily masters the Balance Maze, like he masters everything he tries.
Umpteen Tug-o-wars were held. None of them were fair.
Are these Frisbees for balancing or throwing? Well, here it goes. . . .
Yup. There it went!
Meanwhile, at the beanbag toss: "Take THAT, and THAT, and THAT!"
NO, Miss Delores! I won't throw my pacifier out the nursery window again-- I PROMISE!
While Donna calmly snaps photos, the hazards of foil streamers go unnoticed.
One more time-- WE'LL turn the rope, YOU jump it!
The ENFORCERS. Sometimes it takes five to supervise one.
Okay, everybody make yourselves really SMALL!
OOPS! Where'd they all go?
This is the Story Room where the most valuable lessons of Camp Sonshine were shared.
Lessons like "Never light a real campfire inside the church."
Lessons like "Never leave the snack table unguarded."
And lessons like "Never invite strange animals inside your tent, even if they're stuffed."
Now, our next activity is do dive from the top of the fire escape into the kiddie pool. Who's first?
And the rule of this fun game is "Don't get anything above your ankle wet."
Of course, we follow ALL rules! Now get OUT of here with that camera.
So if a bird flies in, we can really add him to the membership roll?
No helpers were more appreciated than our couriers who delivered Bob's Pizzas. YUM YUM YUM! And thank you, Bob!
I can't look at the bubbles right now-- Mr. Ken is pointing a camera in my direction.
Two things I'm really good at: SMILING for Uncle Ken and blowing bubbles sitting down.
So every time you jump we call out a girl's name, and when you miss that's the girl who gets to kiss ya.
Okay, we could use a few more lifeguards over here at the pool.
Pastor Bryan doesn't just 'talk the talk,' he 'walks the walk.'

What Would Jesus Do? Fix Caroline's shoe before the balloon launch.
Okay, whose the wise guy who told the kids we would shoot the balloons down with slingshots?
There they go! More than 50 balloons. I bet my yellow one makes it as far as northern Murdocksville before it bursts. And by the way, am I the only one who sees words in the sky?
All over now but certificates and some good ol' singing. Songs like "I Am a Promise," "Love is a Flag Flown High," "Awesome God," and "Who is the King of the Jungle."

Wow. Six hours of VBS. Was it worth it?
I won't know till I open the goody bag!
I won't know till I open the goody bag!Seriously, it was a great day of Bible teaching and fellowship. Thanks to all the children and adults who participated in making it a totally positive and memorable occasion.
