Vacation Bible School Music

Calvary United Methodist Church's Vacation Bible School took place from June 13-16. Pals Darren Plattner, Rob Stogsdill and I played a group of good-natured small town fellas who've been asked to lead the town sing-along at the annual Fall Harvest Festival. Despite no musical or farming skills, they decide to plant a crop (which goes terribly) and write a song (which goes better as the days go by).

The theme was "Growing God's Word In Your Heart." The four Bible verses were:

Day 1: Planting
Parable of the Four Soils
Mark 4:1-9

Day 2: Nurturing/Pruning
The Vine and the Branches
John 15:1-8

Day 3: Bearing Fruit
A Tree and Its Fruit
Luke 6:43-45

Day 4: Harvesting
Matthew 9:37-38

Photos used as props were contributed by Dena. And thanks to the magic of audio recording toys, the three-part sound track & instruments & clap track by yours truly.



A record 249 kids and their parents went wild after the finale!

Next year's theme is about construction. Should leave plenty of time to come up with another entertaining brand of amateur skits!
