VBS

This week is Vacation Bible School at Sequoia Heights Baptist Church---and I'm the director. That means I get to church at 7:30 and get things set up and stay until the last teacher leaves about 1pm. In between I spend most of my time running about making sure every teacher has what they need, the additional volunteers are up on supplies and all the students are where they are supposed to be. Daughter is doing all the paperwork/computer inputting. That is a huge load of work and very important. Thank you so much Daughter!!!

I love VBS. It is a great time to reconnect with a lot of my church friends. We tend to drift apart during the year because all of our children are different ages and going so many different directions. It's also a lot of work.

Today three van loads of French 20 somethings dropped in on the church. They had flown into San Francisco and were on their way to Yosemite National Park. They told Pastor they were touring the state parks here in California for 20 days!! They saw our church and all the people around and stopped to use the restroom. We were happy to oblige. Funny though, in California it is illegal to smoke practically everywhere. They were not aware of this fact. Pastor had to ask them not to smoke on the property, but to take it out into the parking lot.

Today was a great day!!

Hopefully I can get back to posting next week.
