VBS July 2008

Hi! This is Renee Teel, Director of Missions at Christ United Methodist Church in Sugar Land, Texas. Christ Church members Olinda Jehovics, Louise Alcock, Emily Jehovics, Molly Singleton, Hunter Thompson, Benjamin Alcock, Madeline Alcock and I held a 4 day Vacation Bible School for the girls July 14 -17. What a wonderful time it was - filled with Christ's love and plenty of hugs!







For one of the craft projects, the girls painted expandable hot air balloon lanterns. Heavy rocks were placed inside the basket of the balloon that represented anger (enojado) fear (miedo) and sadness (triste). We focused on how we can put those feelings in our "God basket" and lift them up to God to help us with those feelings.













One of the girls' favorite moments was learning a lively song with hand motions - "Llévame en las alas de tu amor" (Lift me up in the wings of your love).

Their smiles were like being in the presence of angels. We can't wait to go back!
