I was in charge of Vacation Bible School again this year for the Plattsmouth First United Methodist Church. Our theme was SonSurf Beach Bash and was so much fun! We averaged about 60 kids a night! We had music, games, Bible stories, snacks, and crafts each night of VBS. It was a huge success!
We started making decorations and props about a month before VBS and we started decorating the hallways and rooms on the Friday before VBS. It look lots of time to set everything up - THANK YOU to all who helped me!
Christie Haag helped me tremendously with VBS preparations!

Crafts and supplies ready to go! I had to watch 60 white towels to get ready for tie dying on the 2nd night of VBS. The UMW provided us with money to purchase the towels!
Laura & Anna Glynn helped in the weeks before VBS!
Kristi, Donna, Heather & Kasey helped with setting up the hallways and rooms in the days before VBS started.
Bible Stories Room! Set up to look like we were telling stories around the campfire.
We decorated the hallways with waves and fish!
The stage was set up for our nightly skit and for class pictures!

The kids played games inside the first couple nights because the heat index was over 100*!
