Video Wednesday: Sabbath Reflections

Our video for this week again comes to us from Southern Adventist University. I hope you enjoy these Sabbath reflections from students at SAU.

*Note - I'm not only just trying to promote SAU's videos, they just come to my attention more often from friends and acquaintances who have attended or currently attend SAU. I want to invite anyone who has seen any inspiring videos and would like to share them, to please let either me or my mum know (alisongerrans@gmail.com or glendq@gmail.com). We will definitely make sure to feature them in future Video Wednesday posts. We would be thrilled for suggestions and/or contributions from our church family!

Kingdom Rock VBS at OCC - Day 4

Thursday must have been the day with the most people at OCC for VBS.
It was a fun place to be in the morning.

By this time the children were really knowing the theme song for Kingdom Rock VBS - "Stand Strong" and they were able to do the actions and sing out loudly. It was great!

We were so so so thankful that Melanie helped us out and stayed by for a few more days. The added bonus was the Seth and Levi got to be at VBS for the whole week too.

Brianna lead out in the games by the pond where there was plenty of room to enjoy the running and fun. Loretta was back for the Bible story time, and Cherri had another good activity with the science center of Imagination Station.

Chadder had something interesting to share with Beverly leading in that room and of course snack was great once again... bagel halves with blueberry cream cheese and fresh picked raspberries Bonnie shared with us from her mum and dad's garden.

Here you go for a few more pictures from this day.

The end of day 4.

Kingdom Rock VBS at OCC - Day 3

Wednesday - singing, games, science fun, Bible stories, and snacks, plus Chadder's Theatre, and more singing.
We enjoyed beautiful weather for our VBS week.
It was nice to have it in the morning so it was still a bit cooler.

Here is the review in photos.

Beginning Praise Time

Imagination Station is about balance today. First they try to balance without using their arms.

It is much easier with your arms spread out.

The little ones with leader Shannon.

Now they have their arms out and one foot up.

Having his say

Watching all the kids.

Pastor Tetz took the camera and got some great photos of the kids building the walls like Nehemiah.

Not quite on the nose.

Yay!!

Let's try on the hand!

Doing just great!

Games with water or pool noodles are always bunches of fun.

Another day is done and it was fun.

Video Wednesday: Tokay High School Testimony

In our first Video Wednesday feature I shared the video of Willy's Story. Today I want to go back to the Living It High School Outreach website and share another story. This one is a testimony reel from the Christian Club at Tokay High School. I'm so glad these students aren't afraid to talk about their faith to their fellow high school students! What a witness students on fire for God can be!
