Everest Relay! Ask your child how they went about gather supplies for a venture up Mount Everest!!
KidVid Cinema
God gives us the things we need— He has the power to provide! Today we enjoyed God’s gift of “melted snow!” We talked about waiting patiently for things we want or need. We also talked about tears when sometimes we can be sad, but that God also provides sweet treats that make us happy! We can learn how to hold on and wait patiently for God. Our treats today were melted snow , crispy snow balls and dried fruit!
Mountain Top Treats
Today we played with Snow Seeds!”
When they’re dry, they just look like sand. But when you provide
water they grow into snow. Just as the Snow Seeds grew into some-
thing more, God provides for us in more ways than we can imagine!
Imagination Station
Today we met the prophet Elijah and went with him on his
difficult journey where Raven provided him food! We learned
that God has the power to provide!

This year our Mis-
sion Collection
from VBS will go
to support the Lu-
theran Church
Charities Mission
Dogs.
Lutheran Church Charities’ K-9
Comfort Dog Ministry is a national
ministry utilizing the unique skills of
dogs, specifically Golden Retriev-
ers, to open opportunities to touch
people with Mercy and Compas-
sion of Christ. Our dogs are trained
service animals prepared to inter-
act with people in ways that provide
a bridge for compassionate ministry
to take place.
Lutheran Church Charities’ K-9
Comfort Dog Ministry works to
place K-9’s in Christian churches
and schools as an outreach tool.
There is a chapter right here in
northern Illinois, sponsored by St.
John in Burlington!
You may recall the k-9 Comfort
Dogs spent some time in DeKalb
during the period following the cri-
sis on campus in February 2008!
For more information on this minis-
try you can check the website at

pages!

Hold on! Is the game we played today, the object is to have
teams, with one team being it. As the team that’s it tags oth-
ers they form one continuous strong rope becoming one rope
together. The game teaches, teamwork cooperation and tests
our strength to remain together as one where we find comfort
in each other.
KidVid Cinema
Today’s treat was an awesome reminder that God has the
power to comfort. We talked about how God’s comfort
is soft and gentle, and even sweet— like our marshmal-
lows and chocolate. God’s love is also mighty and
strong. Our graham crackers reminded us of strong
things, like boulders and rocks.
Today we enjoyed s’mores, mountain top peaks and gla-
cier aide!
Serving and doing kind things for each other is a great
way to comfort. Another reminder of the importance of
ministries like the K-9 Comfort Dogs!
Mountain Top Treats
Bubble Booster- Today we’re learning about comfort. God
and His Bible comfort us. He also gives us soft things,
friends, and smiles to bring us comfort. Our soft ropes of
bubbles shared with friends certainly brought smiles today.
Imagination Station
Today we continued to follow
Elijah on his journeys. Even
when scary stuff happens, Elijah heard God speak to him in
a whisper. God has the power to Comfort!
