Wednesday night was day 3 at New Hope’s VBS.  I visited each station and was really impressed with the leadership our workers were demonstrating, keeping the children’s attention and inspiring excitement. Good job, guys.

The closing program was with Mr. Mark of Mark’s Ark. He brought several weird animals for the children to see and touch (some of them). What blessed me most was a 2-foot Constrictor that he put in the hands of 6-year old Payton, who carried the snake throughout the 100 kids for them to touch. She never flinched or acted scared in the least. In contrast, a boy, somewhat older, was afraid to carry another Constrictor. And it happened to be on Payton’s birthday.

Happy birthday, Payton. You made me proud.
