Day 4 SonRise National Park VBS


True Love was the theme for Wednesday night's activities.  We had very enthusiastic, praise-filled worship, played fun games, made cross sun-catchers in crafts, and had popcorn for our snack. In the skit, one of the contestants on True Nature Survivor sacrificed her 1st place prize so that another player could win the prize and fulfill a life-long wish.

We talked about Jesus' great love for all of us; that He died in our place so that we can be forgiven for our sin and live forever with him in heaven. We discussed what the Christian faith is all about and we rejoiced with one 6th grader who prayed with her adult leader and asked Jesus to be Lord of her life.  During the closing assembly, we all had an opportunity to pray and ask Jesus into our hearts. Even though there was a more serious tone during the evening, we still had lots of fun & laughter, singing & celebrating God's love. To quote one first grader, "We come to VBS because it's sooo cool."
    
     "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us." 1 John 3:16
