A day in Athens

Today we traveled back to the time of Paul in the town of Athens, Greece. 

Backstory: vbs was not held at trinity from 1980-2011. In 2012 a new minister and a new Christian ed director decided we needed to bring vbs back. So a few dedicated members, parents and youth brought 32 kids to Babylon. We had such a great. Week that we immediately reserved time for 2013 and started planning for the lofty goal of 50 kids. 

This morning we had 62 kids, 15 adults and 10 youth dressed in white tshirt or sheet togas learning about Paul's journey and praising God. The piano teacher on the second floor one hall over could hear the kids during music time. 

C is enjoying her last year in a tribe. While i lead the craft tent. Today we made Olympic laurel wreaths and learned the letters Alpha and Omega. Tomorow we learn about voting and make necklaces with jury stones. Wed, scrolls and the rest of the greek alphabet. Thursday, trojan horse boxes and Friday, water bottle maracas.
