Today’s tee shirt I saw on a young man at the 11 o’clock service of the First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake last week.
On the back it says,
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us
that we should be called children of God!
1 John 3:4
On the front is the theme of the 2009 Vacation Bible School: “Son Rock Kids Camp.”
Son Rock Kids Camp - Where kids build their life on the rock: Jesus.
This is one of the items made by the little tykes at the First Methodist Church of Crystal Lake’ Vacation Bible School.
About 320 children attended last week from 9-noon.
Is what this flag says.

I had so much fun taking pictures of kids and leaders at the First United Methodist Church’s Vacation Bible School this week.
On Friday night after the singing of the songs learned during the week—complete with hand gestures—there was a party.
Besides the type of games you would see at an elementary school fun fair, there was a silent auction for handmade baskets.
Money donated was designated to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry.
The younger children helped create the baskets, but I saw both adult and the almost and young teen leaders working on them when there was nothing else to do.
A lot of work went into their creation.

The cowboy’s name is Dusty.
Must not have much rain where he comes from.
He looks a little like a young Hopalong Cassidy.
He is standing in the narthex of the First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake.
He’s waiting for kids attending Vacation Bible School to bring food for the needy.
This picture was taken on Monday.
I don’t think the pitch had been made yet.
But, I’ll bet it will be full on Friday.

Today at the First Methodist Church of Crystal Lake a pitch was made for Vacation Bible School.
At least that’s what it used to be called.
And, from the bulletin board display, it looks as if it’s still called that.
For years now, the one at our church has had a theme.
This year’s seems to be based on a theme park.
There are tickets for each day of the week to
SonWorld Vacation Park
The daily themes are
1- Choose to Believe
2- Choose to Act
3- Choose Forgiveness
4- Choose to Obey
5- Choose Jesus
I get to take pictures.
It’s scheduled for June 23-27.
Talking about it at the 11 o’clock service, youth leader Ryan Dunn said 500 kids attend. I sense there were some gasps from those deeply involved, because he quickly said he meant about 300.
Needless to say, it is a massive undertaking. It fills the entire church, which is one of the larger ones in Crystal Lake, as well as being the oldest congregation.
If you would like to enroll your kids or grandchildren, call 815-459-0785 and ask for Lisa Bischoff, the Director of Children’s Ministries.
