Recording-breaking VBS attendance in St. Paris

This year's Community Vacation Bible School -- sponsored by the local Federation of Churches -- was a smash success, with an average attendance of 108 youngsters over the course of five evenings!
I'm told that easily exceeds past attendance levels. Tuesday night was my turn to present the Bible story. My task was to cover the first 9 of the 10 plagues visited upon Egypt because of the Pharoah's stubborn refusal to let God's people go. Covering 9 plagues in 15 minutes is a challenge -- doing so through five back-to-back sessions with different groups ... whew!
There were 2 mission efforts associated with this year's VBS, too. Money was raised in support of Champaign County Habitat for Humanity (which apparently is building a home in Saint Paris in the near future). Meanwhile, the kids also brought in 240 canned goods for the federation food pantry (which operates out of the United Methodist Church). . . . As they say -- "It's all good!"
