"A Blue Ribbon Way of Life", this was the theme for Enola Church of Christ 2013 Vacation Bible School. I was given the privilege of being "Booster Rooster", a comical and gregarious Rooster who learns about simple lessons in life. This year the Rooster helped the youth learn about the Fruits of the Spirit. I just have to say that this was one of the most rewarding years for me. Several of the youth from the 3,4 & 5 year old classes commented about the lessons. One in particular stood out in my mind, after Sunday evening on our first night, She stated "I think there is a person in there" and then later was heard saying "That was a good story".
Moments like these make a person/Rooster think back to what small influential thing I may have said or done when my own children were this age. I will continue to remember what that little girl said, and mind my "Fruits" when I am around impressionable youth.
We ended the week Wednesday evening with 191 in attendance. I am particularly proud of this number as the Baptist church in Mt. Vernon was also conducting their VBS. I have just found out that Mars Hill will be kicking off their Bible school Saturday, August 27th.
Well I must get to work a fifteen minute break is just that a break!
