VBS 2009 - AFTER THE GARDEN (GENESIS 3-11)

Our Vacation Bible School for 2009 is well underway with a theme this year of "After the Garden." The teachers really go all out decorating their rooms for the kids. Showing the rooms in their Biblical order, and not necessarily the order all the students saw them as they go to a different room each night, we have the Garden of Eden starting with Adam and Eve's sin and their expulsion from the garden.Next we have the story of Cain and Abel up to and including Cain's banishment.Moving to the next room, the students are learning all about the pre-flood world, dinosaurs and all!Our fourth room tells the students all about Noah's commission from God to build the ark, the flood, and then the promises and commands God gave to Noah and his family after they were back on dry land.And our final classroom deals with the Tower of Babel and God's creation of the different languages and His scattering of the people.
This is a group picture taken tonight of all the kids in attendance. We've averaged about 30 kids a night and 20 adults, which we think is just fantastic as only 19 of the children are from our own congregation, the rest are visitors.
