Payne Ave. VBS Day 1

Our youth group goes to Payne Ave Church and when we get there at around 12:30 PM we already start preparing for our evening VBS. I am in the snack group so we started making dirt cups for snack time, yummy. And each group worked on their plan for the night.

From 2-4 we go prayer walking and hand out flyers around the neighborhoods for our VBS. Prayer walking is a fun time and it's also where you can really see God at work. For example, when we were prayer walking today we went up to a guy and he said, "What are you guys selling?" and I said,"We aren't selling anything. We are handing out flyers for our VBS." At first he really didn't seem interested in it but once he saw our flyer he became really interested and said he would be there. I wasn't really sure if he had kids or grandkids but we were happy he would be there and as soon as we left his house, we saw 3-4 kids run out of the house and he told them about it and they were excited. It was just cool to see  how he went from not being interested to being excited about it.

After we were all done with that, we had a little rest time, ate dinner and then the kids began to flow in. VBS was honestly a blast. It's amazing to see how much the kids love to worship Jesus and how they have so much energy. The kids also really love to be with us and I think its awesome that we get to show Jesus' love to them.

So far day one was a blast and I can't wait for the rest of the week and to see what God has in store.
