Today, July 17th, we
began our day of LIT by taking a tour of Resurrection Lutheran Church. Pastor Nelson gave us an overview of the
church; he explained the church’s mission as well as providing insight about
its congregation. We were then give an
assortment of different assignments and off to work we went. Despite the heat, Kevin and I worked together
and trimmed branches of a tree growing into the parking lot. Ed and Alexis worked on cleaning the various
windows of the church and the rest of the group helped package food.
Sweaty and feeling accomplished, we
headed back to St. Bart’s for our third night of VBS. Tonight our overall theme was that trusting in God helps us to stand strong. The kids were taught the story of Jesus’
death and of his resurrection. They made
crowns during the craft and were given a delicious dinner consisting of chicken
nuggets, mac and cheese, and green beans (even though many kids passed on
these). At the end of the day we learned
a new song called "the crazy song." It got
the kids excited and moving around. It
was really amazing seeing and hearing kids so happy while singing about God’s
love.
