Today, we looked at John 14:26: “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” As we closed up our week of VBS, we were reminded that God loves and care for us, no matter what it is that we have done or will do. He gives us the Holy Spirit so that we may continue to have an intimate relationship with Him.

Thank you to all the parents and students for supporting our missionary families–the Oh’s and the Wong’s. We raised $551! As a result, we pied some of our leaders with whipped cream to celebrate. 

To wrap up the day, we had our annual Carnival festivities! Below are some pictures showcasing the fun that we had:

Thanks to our volunteers for serving in VBS this year! Here are some of our teams:

Please remember to join us at 10:00 AM this Sunday to see the children perform live! May we continue to pray for the work of the Holy Spirit in all of us and for the children to continue to grow in their faith and understanding of our good Father. God bless! See you all next year!

Because the end of the week is nearing, the kids have become a lot more familiar with the choreography and lyrics of our opening song, Galactic Starveyors. After singing praise, the kids listened to Teacher Camellia use the movie Finding Dory as a metaphor for faith in Jesus Christ.

During Huddle, pre-schoolers worked with their helpers to align the planets in order.

We played Sharks and Minnows during Game Time.

During the gospel presentation before closing, kids participate in a science experiment with Teacher Joseph that represents the cleansing of our sins by Jesus Christ. 

We will conclude with two shoutouts.

First, thanks so much to our kitchen team, who work behind the scenes to keep the volunteers fed and the camp running smoothly.

Finally, thanks so much for our wonderful Small Group leaders for guiding our campers into their spiritual journey towards greater love of Christ.  

Here’s a goofy photo.

Thanks for another great day at camp!

Day 3 is about The Restoration Promised – God sent His Son, Jesus, to be Savior of the world. 

After opening ceremony (pictured above), campers gathered in their Small Groups for Bible, in which they discussed God’s promise to redeem humanity via his only son, Jesus Christ. The Bible Verses of the day were Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-24 and Luke 2:22-38.

Afterwards, campers discussed their thoughts during Huddle.

After games, campers exercised their creativity and artistic talent during Crafts. The lower-elementary schoolers made constellation using construction paper, scissors and glue.

During Mission and Snack, Teacher Andrew further discussed the fall of humanity from the Garden of Eden and the price Jesus had to pay for our sin.

During today’s closing, we invited the kids onstage to sing and dance with our Praise Team.

Thanks for another fun day at DCBC!
