Yesterday at VBS was fun. The theme of the day was Unity. They talked about Esther. This is what Sam came home looking like. Not sure if he's going to have a disguise for every day, or what! We only have the kids on MWF, so T,TH are our prep days. So yesterday we spent the whole morning cutting out the spaces in between letters on these fish and crosses that said "Love" with X-acto knives. We had to do quite a few of them. It took us all morning. 
Today, the kids used our cut outs to put together these cards to give to missionaries. This one was Will's. They glued colored paper behind the letters, then glued the whole thing to a card. They wrote a note inside and attached one of their bible verses for the week. This is what Will wrote:
Dear Missionary, Thanks for helping people! And don't forget to read the verse above. From Will
He's always short and sweet and to the point! On the way home, Will said, "next time we do a craft project, can we do something that we can keep and take home?" Our craft leader had thought ahead that she might get some reactions like that, so she had rubber Jesus bracelets and candy for the kids to take, so they'd come away with something.
Noah and Sam's groups decorated paddle balls and made macaroni necklaces. Not sure why Sam is coloring with his left hand, since he's right-handed!
Today's theme was Training and they talked about Daniel. The oldest kids made praying hands by using a mold and thin metal sheets. They had to rub the metal with an etching tool and their fingers to mold the metal onto the outside of the mold, so that the image appeared on the metal. It took a lot of patience, but they did great. They put the metal in a cardboard frame, then decorated the frame. Jack wrote around the edges, "Pray to the Lord God."
