For the first time I helped out in VBS held every year end in Wesley Methodist Church since it's inception six years ago...
The theme for this year is...
Total of 200 children participated compared to last year's hundred over.
Each group had 10 kids, amounting to 20 groups.
The name of the groups used the buddy names which are Fizz 1 to 5, Sparki 1 to 5, Dewd 1 to 5, and Max 1 to 5.
Each day the kids were introduced with a bible buddy.
Each group were scheduled to four different stations at different times and when the time is up, they will move to the next stations.
The stations were named according to the year's theme, which is Sonic 'Sing & Play' (where kids gather before and after any other stations, where they all meet up in one place), Science Cinema (watch the adventure of a chipmunk called Chedder), Hyperspeed games (play games), Test Tube Treats (makan time) Wacky Work Craft (doing arts) and Bible Blast (where the children get to experience themselves about the bible story of the day).
For the whole five days, the children learned different things and were given bookmarks, arts and crafts, etc.
The most right bookmark (in red) is the first day where they learned about being thankful (Bible point: Jesus gives us the power to be thankful. Every time that phrase was said, the children will respond by shouting "KABOOM!". It's bible buddy called 'Fizz' is a test tube where bubbles are overflowing out of it to signify that the thankfulness to God overflows.
I will update more details about Day 2 - Day 5 in the next post =)
The Super Sonic, a bunch of mad scientists, including Dennis were in charge of the 'Sing & Play' session where they teach the children dance steps to the songs, perform sketches and entertaining the children.
Ehem...let me introduce you to the group that was put under my care as an assistant crew leader...
See that wacky scientist? hehe..
The crew leader of my group (Dewd 1) Foong Yeng (second left from the pink shirt girl name Cind Ley).
Bryan (8 yr old) and Shuet Li
They're so cute, isn't it?
I kinda missed the whole VBS thing..the kids had a lot of fun.
Chuah Shuet Li, 7 years old
She likes to hold on to my hand and to sit with her.
At the 'Test Tube Treats"
On the last day of Test Tube Treats in which the bible point is "Jesus Gives us the Power to Live Forever". Even the food that they eat will enforce the message of the day for them to remember. So the biscuits were arranged into a cross shape to signify Jesus who died on the cross takes away their sins. Then the topping goes with concentrated milk which children, in general, love sweet taste.
The crew leaders and assistants had to be aware of the children under their care who are allergic to certain food like peanuts, colourings, ice creams etc.
These are some of the kids under Patricia's care in Sparki 1, with the mad scientist..tsk tsk tsk.
My crew, Cherylene, age 10
The Super Sonics!
They were playing the game of passing message from one to another until the end, the last person go back to the teller and see if the message passed through accurately or not.
The message was "Jesus gives us the power to tell others about God".
My group, represented by Cherylene, and my group is the only one did it correctly...hehe..
The mad scientists from left (with lab coats): Prof. Den Den, Prof Chu Chu (half hidden), Prof Law Law (holding mike) and Prof Na Na.
Their names are actually derived from their real name: Dennis, Cheryl Chu, Lawrence, and Christina. Their nick names were used since they become the "stage entertainer" few years ago. So when they do their sketch, they would bring back from last year's theme to this year's to make a connection.
Meet Bryan again. He was Dennis' neighbour at his old house.
On the last day.
Jordon & Cherylene
My crew leader. She had been helping in VBS for 6 long years! She's very experience in this.
Saw that little girl on the far right? that is her daughter, Jocelyn. Didn't really had the chance to take picture with her and I wasn't aware she was behind us in this picture!
Jocelyn's younger sister, Joanna, 6 years old.
She's so cute, isn't she?
Jocelyn and Joanna's eldest brother, Joshua.
Me and Patricia!!!
On the last day, each child was given a baloon with cartoon characters on it. For guys, they had spongebob squarepants.
There were extras so we took some home.. =)
My crew were quite well behaved I would say, with a range of different age group from 5 to 12 years old but only one who is hyper active..lol..
