Bible School Catch-Up

As I wrote in the Grandma post, the kids went to a week of Bible School in June. They went to the church that I grew up in and that most of my Smith family still attends (and also where Michael and I were married and the kids baptized). Bible School was from 6-8 every evening, we were up a bit late all week long but the kids absolutely LOVED it. They enjoyed every part of the program: singing, snack, stories, games, and crafts.

Getting ready one evening...



I am amazed at how well they learned about SIX new, long, and complicated songs to sing in church on Sunday. Aunt Sue was the song leader and, boy, did she get them to learn a lot in five days! They are STILL singing them three weeks later! Especially "Praise Ye the Lord, Hallelujah!"

The Sunday following Bible School the kids always do some skits and songs for the congregation as part of the service. When the leaders were handing out parts, they announced "If anyone wants a speaking part, come see Becky!" and Colin immediately told me he wanted one. I sent him to Becky and he got a part! He did a GREAT job with it too! He had one line, "No matter where you go, TRUST GOD." He said it loudly, clearly, and with enthusiasm!

Ready for church!




Singing with all the kids (with cousin Sarah sneaking in the side of the shot!):


Fun, fun week! And Becky did a FANTASTIC job leading Bible School! Good thing they liked it cause I have them signed up for a week of local Bible School this week too!
