Everyone wanting to hear about our first day of VBS?? Well, it went well and we had 15 kids there....Praise God anyway!! I would have loved to report a larger number but considering that we only have 8 kids in our church now, we were proud that there were more than 8!! Three of our 8 regulars were not there due to being out of town. This just goes to show you how hard this area is to reach. God and church just is not a part of these people's lives. So we will press on and pray that each week it will grow and grow. Here are some pictures of the big day...... 
Our lesson for the day was about Jesus calling Simon Peter to be his disciple and how without Jesus' help, Peter was not catching any fish that particular day. Jesus told Peter to try the other side of the boat and when Peter was obedient, he caught tons of fish. The above picture is of our snack and I thought it was sooo cute....a pretzel rod for the fishing pole, licorice for the fishing string, gummy worm on the end, and fish crackers! Jesus called Simon Peter to become a "fisher of men" and Peter left his boat and followed Christ.
Are YOU a fisher of men? Have you told anyone lately about your Savior? Have you given up anything to "follow" HIM?

Keep up the good work!! God works even when we don't think that the situations are favorable or as we think they should be. Fortunately for us, God doesn't seen things the way we see them and I am so glad. He just needs willing people like you all and he can do the rest!!
