VBS ... Day 2
VBS - Day 2
Lesson - John 6:1-15
(in which Jesus feeds a BIG crowd)
Today, I (Barb Bee) met Bubba, a construction bee! He was looking for work and said he was pretty good at making honeycombs and honey too! He said he made honey (gobs of it!) from teeeeeeny tiiiiiiiny particles of pollen! I could HARDLY believe it! But I sent him to work up on C-28. He got lost and ended up back at my hive -- that's cuz he's NOT a Scout'n bee for sure! It was okay... everybody's good at something! I sent the kids off to listen to hear about Jesus miracle and told them to listen for the "little things" he used to make that miracle happen! Then I led Bubba up to his new job, and buzzed my way back down to crafts!
Our project for today was this...
Like this for the pre-school and K-1's
... and like this for the 2nd-5th's.
(just to make it a little different)

ALL age groups really enjoyed this craft because of the scratch paper! It didn't matter if they scribbled or if they intricately designed their art work - it ALL came out looking fabulous! And of course, it held GREAT reminders of the primary components of Jesus MIRACLE! Two fishies and 5 loaves of bread! (and getting them in order! Whooo!) Great fun!
So, of course, when I met back up with Bubba & the kids at the end of the day, they had all found out that Jesus used two little fish, and 5 little loaves of bread (not big loaves like we buy at the grocery store - biscuit sized loaves - not that it matters!) to feed FIVE THOUSAND people!!! That is even crazier than turning tiny little particles of pollen into gobs and gobs of honey! But then, Jesus is FAR better at miracles than Bubba is! Bubba has to use elbow grease... Jesus just uses God Power!!!
See ya tomorrow!
See ya tomorrow!
