Wow…the day began with a sound check around 7 a.m. in the church auditorium.\u00a0 I did a “teaser” for VBS in all 3 worship services and that went really well.\u00a0 This church is probably one of the largest if not THE largest I have the privilege to work with.\u00a0 You would have to see the sanctuary decorated for VBS to believe it.\u00a0 There is a man in Tyler that is a baloon artist (does clown ministry too) that has created a jungle for the “King of the Jungle” theme.\u00a0 It’s truly remarkable.\u00a0 Well over 10,000 balloons have been used to build a giant tree, 2 large giraffes, a gigantic elephant and several trees and monkeys.\u00a0 Folks, I’m telling you, I’ve taken a picture of Patty standing next to the elephant to give some perspective.\u00a0 She can easily walk UNDER the elephant.\u00a0 It is massive.\u00a0 The kids are “off the charts” with excitement.\u00a0 Because of construction this church hasn’t done VBS in 2 years so if you hear a gigantic BOOM then the roof has just been blown off of Green Acres Baptist Church.<\/p>\n
There are 1100 kids that have PRE-registered for VBS.\u00a0 Not really sure how many will show up tomorrow morning but it’s sure to be a wild time.\u00a0 Pray the teachers and workers and pray that in the midst of the fun and entertainment that the message will be crystal clear.<\/p>\n
I look forward to giving you an update tomorrow evening,
