Everest VBS: Night 1
Tonight was the first time in 6 years that I was a
Crew Leader. I have been attending VBS at Horizons since 2009 but in the
capacity of Red Crew Coach for the past 5 VBS’s. I enjoyed my time as a Crew
Coach, but both myself and my-co Crew Coach decided last year that it was time
to pass on the reigns to someone else and share our time and talents in
different capacities. I signed up for Security, but at the last minute was
asked if I would be able to sub as Crew Leader and I said sure.
I had forgotten what it’s like to have a group of kids
on the first night who don’t know each other and are unsure of the craziness
that is Horizons VBS. As the night progressed we had a great discussion after
the movie and the girls I had in my crew were the first to volunteer in Bible
Adventures. By the time we got to games they were having a great time and
working together as a team. They still were unsure about the singing and
dancing until “Spin”. Then they all had smiles on their faces and were having a
blast!
As I looked around the Worship Center, during closing,
it was amazing to see how fast the kids had changed from being shy and unsure
to jumping up and down and having a blast in just a couple of hours. God has
truly blessed Horizons with great Crew Leaders and Volunteers and I can’t wait
to see how He will continue to work through all of us the rest of the week.
