Attending Church & Iglesia

by Morgan Shepherd | June 19, 2022 9:28 PM

We started the week off by attending the English and Spanish services at the church we are serving and sleeping in for the week, Hughes United Methodist. We got to introduce ourselves and share a little about the VBS we are running and pray over the congregation and the kids! It was really cool to be a part of the Spanish worship!

VBS Day 1

by Courtney Kruse | June 21, 2022 9:30 PM

Monday was our first day of VBS and we welcomed over 50 kids into Hughes United Methodist Church! We had fun doing crafts, sports, worship, skits and so much more. We are excited to love on these kids this week and show them the love of Jesus!

Walking on Water

The Tuesday lesson was about how Jesus walked on water and how he helped Peter walk on water too. For crafts, we made a diorama of the story.

The B-I-B-L-E

Our Wednesday Bible Adventure was about sin and Jesus being resurrected. We had some really sweet moments with the kids during this time as they were hearing the gospel!

Harder Than it Looks

by Morgan Shepherd | June 23, 2022 7:28 AM

During Rodeo, we played the Silent Olympics. Some games looked a lot easier than they actually were, like this one, trying to drop a clothes pin in the bucket.

Spreading the Gospel

by Morgan Shepherd | June 25, 2022 9:55 PM

We did a half day of VBS on Thursday. In Bible Adventures, we talked about sharing the gospel and how it can travel from person to person. We did an activity to represent this by one person putting glitter hand sanitizer on and then shaking someone’s hand, and that person would shake someone else’s hand and it went around the circle. And by the end, everyone had glitter on their hand, showing how even just one person sharing the gospel can make a big impact and reach many people!

Exploring DC

In the afternoon, we went to DC! We started at the Museum of Natural History, had some Shake Shack for dinner, and then we walked the National Mall, visiting the monuments! It was really cool to see them up close!
