Back in June, our church had its annual Summer Spectacular (a version of Vacation Bible School). Each year they take a story from the Bible and incorporate it into all of the kid's classes, adult classes, and the musical each of the three nights. This year was Elijah.
Tate had a great time in his class learning about how God provided for the needs of Elijah when he sent the ravens with bread and meat. To illustrate, the snack that night was a cracker and chicken nugget. Later when we were talking about it, I asked him how God provided. He said "with bread and Chick Fil A!"
I helped in the 1st grade story room each night and was pretty impressed with how smart these kiddos are. We had three different groups of about 20-30 kids each. My friends Kristen & Alyssa did a great job teaching the story, and I did crowd/kid control.
Then after class it was time for the musical. It was once again an impressive production. They tell the Bible story while using songs we all know. Tate loved the musical and was so excited each night to see what was going to happen to Elijah. When I was talking to him about how God sent the fire and the rain, he said, "And God also sent Boom Boom Pow and The Hustle!"
Even with the price you have to pay when your 3 y.o. doesn't go to bed until 10:00 p.m. each night, it was all worth it. The entire week is so impressive and well done. We all had a great time and learned a lot. Next year...Noah!
