Opening – Devotions – Storytime

Bible School – July 9-13, 2012

 

 

Each night we sang several songs – led by Gordan Gregory – as the children entered and took their places in the sanctuary.

The children especially liked songs that involved singing loud or clapping.

Storytime was a favorite with everyone.

Lindsey Miller narrated as the pond creatures dealt with fear when there was a strange sound at night. Tristan Hershey (turtle), Kiah Wenger (frog), Jordan Hollinger (duck), and Judah Clapper (alligator). 

 

 

After hiding in the tent, and preparing to fight off this fearful creature with pool “noodles”, Chelsey Becker (moth) appeared.

She was the one causing the dreadful noise!

 

 

Dwayne Fahnestock told a story of when he was a boy and threw snowballs at passing cars. (Notice the passing car in front of him.) One of his sons (I think Logan) played him as a little boy (orange shirt) and hid behind a tree when the car stopped. One of their daughters (Briana) was in the car. 

 

 

Anthony Kampen was a zoo keeper during his story time. The monkey was Judah Clapper.

 

 

When “monkey Judah” escaped his cage, he got in lots of trouble when he tried to get an apple out of another cage.

 

 

Kevin Greiner told a story of when he was a young boy and he and a sister crawled under a fence into a sheep pen. He was not familiar with buck sheep and what happens when they try to protect their lady sheep.

 

 

He didn’t feel safe crawling under the fence but protected himself and his sister with an old fence post that was on the ground – even bending it a bit each time he hit the ram’s head. During a time when it was safe for his sister to crawl under the fence, he begged her to get Dad!

Dad rescued him by lifting him over the fence.

 

 

Sabrina Heller (to left of photo) narrated as Tyler Heisey, Paul Heller, and Geoffrey Heller went fishing (see tub of live fish) in a canoe and taught us a lesson on patience. Look at Geoffrey’s big “fish”.
