Day 3 of VBS taught us that God's love is caring.
"[Love] is not rude, it is not self-seeking." 1 Corinthians 13:5
Our symbol for Day 3 is the fish. There's an old saying about being "a fish out of water." It's a way of describing how it feels when you're uncomfortable or in a place where you don't belong. God doesn't want anyone to feel like a fish out of water with Him. God's love isn't rude or self-seeking. It's about making everyone feel welcome in God's family!
When you see a fish, you can remember that God's love is for everyone.
Our skit tonight had the islanders trying to help each other as a storm was blowing to the island.
We learned that even when we mess up, others still care about us.
Story time took us to the TV show Celebrity Island where ordinary people become famous
just because they have met celebrities! We met our TV host and a self-absorbed celebrity along with a couple of contestants who had met famous people. We got to hear from a Samaritan woman who had met Jesus at a well. He told her that He could give her living water and that she would never be thirsty again.
(John 4:1-42)
We learned that God's love is for everyone--no matter what we look like,
where we are from, or what we have done in life.
Our craft and snack both went along with the fish symbol.
We made fishing poles and had "fish and chips."
Our games tonight involved trying to pass a greased banana, trying to throw water balloons into a bucket, and trying to roll a coconut between posts. It was not as easy as it sounds!
We met our first challenge of the week. We now have enough items and money to complete ten flood buckets for our missions project. In celebration of meeting this challenge, the kids got to watch the skit characters trying to hula hoop.
We are anxiously waiting to see if we meet our next challenge tomorrow. We had 99 kids tonight, but our challenge goal is 100. Will Captain Cooky be getting that pie in the face? Check back on Day 4 to find out.
