Susan - 1st day of VBS

We have 12 confirmed kids registered, but we were blessed with 17 today, 5 were new and 12 were returnees from last year VBS. The bible story is from Matthew 4:18-20, where Jesus chooses fishermen to be his disciples. Fishermen were not considered the most accepted people at the time but they were loved and accepted by Jesus. So, for craft we made fishes, life size fishes that the kids decorated with colored tissue papers. The fishes were later used in recreation where they were given a real fishing pole to fish for their fishes. Afterward we went to the park and Tom Higashi had them play another fishing game, the game turned out to be a blessing because it drew new kids in and we took the opportunity to invite them to come to VBS and some of them wanted to come. Well, that's it for today. I'm really excited to see what God will bring us tomorrow.
