"It's all about perspective. The worship team gets a unique perspective during VBS in a blast of 5-10 intense minutes twice a night of pumpin' thumpin' hoppin' get-on-your-feet-clap-your-hands insanity that we call worship music. Our perspective gives insight into all of the emotions of VBS during the most jam-packed times - opening and closing. We see everything from the kids who are on their feet screaming at the top of their lungs, to the kids who don't quite know what to think about this "weird" stuff, and even those who shrink away in fear from how much energy is zinging through the air. Then there's the strange old guy who sings 3 octaves lower than the rest of us with his pants backwards. Maybe that's what those kids were crying about. We enjoy the chance to get a little crazy :)
The best part for us as adults, though, is that we are reminded to approach God with the same faith and innocence of a child. We get to break free of our inhibitions (in some of our cases, more than we should), and experience the awesome power of God through the eyes of a child. Not only is this the best week of the summer for these kids, it is for us too.
Thanks for letting us be part of this crazy experience! - The Worship Team
