Part: 4 (Page1)

This group was led by Father Dave and Barb and was tasked with the project of setting up and running a vacation bible school for the kids in the area. The group went into it not knowing how many kids to expect or what even to expect. Therefore, after a frantic first day of shopping for art supplies they walked into the church with crayons sharpened ready to rock and roll. One of the unique things about this particular bible school was the fact that they accepted kids right off the streets and didn't required consent forms, medical release forms or any type of legal documents. Kids just showed up. As you can tell by the pictures there was a great deal of creativity and fun happening during the course of this week. You can see feet prints, coloring, making masks and Father Dave doing some sort of dance that we're not real sure of (and does anybody else besides me think it's a little weird that a priest is wearing a you're fired tee shirt?) One of the more colorful moments, no pun intended, of the week was the complete overthrow by the kids and the subsequent decision that Chris needed a little color in his skin and hair and anywhere else they could find a place to rub crayons. Perhaps the most memorable quote of the week was "Amy, how do you get magic marker out of blond hair?" In all seriousness, I think it is safe to say that the youth in this group touched the lives of every kid who was lucky enough to attend at least a day of bible school.
