Share The Good News of Jesus Christ

Here is the Good News! Sixty-four community children came to our VBS and learned about the power of Jesus in their lives! It was wonderful to work with these cool kids. We had volunteers from OHPC and other churches in the community, including Calvary & Tyler Place Presbyterian Churches and St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church.

Friday was our last day! We learned about Acts 1 - 47 the story of the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost, and heard the Gospel from Mark 16:15. "Go into the world and preach the Good News to Everyone!"

Our Beaker was filled to overflowing as we achieved our Daily Challenges

Professor Wilma tried to explain how sharing the word would look if we each told one, then two, then three...and everyone we knew!

Giant lightening bolts remind us to go out into the world and tell eveyone that Jesus loves them!

Our Global Mission Project was decorated soccer balls to be sent to Operation Kid - to -Kid for distribution to children in-need throughout the world. We wrote messages and prayed over each soccer ball and then presented them at our closing ceremony. For our local mission we collected baby supplies to help Isaiah 58 Ministries located at 2149 South Grand, St. Louis, MO.

We finished the day relaxing and visiting with parents and staff and enjoyed fellowship with a side order of hot dogs, chips, and ice cream sandwiches!

We hope all of you will join as at Oak Hill on Sunday morning at 10:30am. A happy and safe summer to everyone!

Jesus Gives Us The Power To Live Forever!

It was another great day at Oak Hill's Vacation Bible School! We learned about how Jesus died for our sins, and came back to life, and how Jesus gives us the power to live forever! What wonderful Good News! We had a "heavy" discussion about sin in Bible Blast. Including a little conversation about Jesus and Mary and Joseph and all the saints and who was a sinner and who wasn't. You can tell that our friends at St. Margaret's of Scotland are learning their Bible Stories! A lot of our church members send their children to St. Margaret's and their friends and neighbors join us at Bible School. Everyone is welcome and we all learn a lot from each other! We all agreed that Jesus washes away our sins and we can live with him forever!

In Cinema Science we continued our story and learned what the "live forever" formula is!
During Wacky Crafts the Squeaky Beakers made Brainyboppers, and the bigger kids mad a Radical Rez....you'll have to ask the kids the story that goes with these cute crafts. In Hyperspeed Games more fun was had by all, and we hope the crew leaders were a little dryer.
















Test Tube treats didn't disappoint us either, we had cool crosses made with Ritz Crackers and Cheese Whiz....don't ya love Cheese Whiz! They were pretty yummy, but then, we eat any and everything at Power Lab!











Every day at the Faith Fusion finale, we receive the Daily Challenge and then we discuss it the next morning during Sonic Sing and Play. Then if we have performed one of the daily challenges we get to put a balloon in our giant beaker! It's almost over flowing!



We hope everyone makes it back tomorrow for our last day! After Faith Fusion Finale we'll all have hot dogs and ice cream, come join us, and bring a friend!

Monday at Power Lab

Eewweehhhhhh!!!!! Those kids have got spots all over!!! Quarantine them quickly, before it spreads.


Bible School started out with a bad case of leprosy! Every single child and even the crew leaders had it. We kept them away from the village, and wrapped them in caution tape, and you know what! Jesus came along and pronounced them ALL clean. Oops we forgot to say thank you, but one child pointed out that Jesus loves everyone, no matter what, even if they forget to say thanks.


When we finally escaped the quarantine we had a great time at Wacky Works Crafts & Missions, where we made Buddy Beakers, cool key chains to hold our Bible Buddies. We got "Fizz" today. ( That cool guy in the photo to the left.) We decorated our beakers with glitter and stickers and markers. The Wacky Crafts lady promised the crew leaders that there would be no more glitter for the rest of the week! ( Oh darn!)


During the day we also attended Cinema Science and met our fave Bible School Teacher "Chadder" and we want to know ... Who is that in the secret lab????????


Mid-morning we headed off to Test Tube Treats. The preschoolers made our special treat for us today. "Thankful Faces!" Sugar cookies, with icing backgrounds M&M eyes and nose and an orange slice mouth, some of them were frownies and some were smilies...all of them tasted very yummy!

VBS would not have been complete if we didn't stop in at Hyperspeed Games. We made giant bubbles ....a hula hoop was our bubble wand. And played other games called 10 Bubbles and Thankful Acts.

Remember :

Always be thankful!
(Colossians 3:15)
