The best part of my job every year is VBS. I am the VBS director at my church every year and I love it. It is a great time where the kids learn valuable lessons about being Catholic and have a ton of fun at the same time. We purchase the program from OSV, they take the GROUP publishing program every year and turn it "Catholic". I feel like it is one of the best programs around. Last year the theme was "High Seas Expedition" and this year it is "PANDAMANIA". The best part of the week is decorating the stage or gathering area. Last year I tried to make the stage look like a ship. The year before I had a carpenter from our church actually build a "shack" out of my old fence to add to the swamp feel. This year I am trying to recreate a bamboo forest right inside the auditorium. Today was the big kick off registration at church and I spoke after every Mass, trying to encourage parents to sign their kids up. This year I hope to get 50 kids, k through 8th grade. This is the first year I have added a junior high group (just a coincidence that my daughter just completed the 6th grade-not!) and we have to see how well that goes. I will try to update all my projects here with pics as I complete them. I am so worried because I still need three teachers and at least 5-10 more high schoolers. That's my project for this evening, pray for more volunteers. Watch as PandaMania comes together in the next three weeks!
