“On Outrigger Island…….”

“…..we live God’s unshakeable truth.”

Ya mon, we’ve been hanging ten on the Outrigger Island all week. That was our VBS theme this year and it was an absolute blast! Jen was at the church pretty much 12 hours a day, starting Sunday, putting all of it together and making sure it ran smoothly (yep, she’s tired!), while Greg came in later (after taking off work and putting in 10+ hours a day of studying for his test on Saturday – yep, he’s tired too!) and helped in recreation with Brian and some other friends. It’s so fun for us to be a part of this awesome ministry, especially when 8 kids come to know Christ! We had an awesome turn out of both kids and staff this year - more than last year! We can’t wait for next year’s VBS….. but right now we can’t wait for vacation in a week. =)

We'd post all the pictures that we took so far in our flickr photo album, but instead we decided to show you below our week of fun in a nutshell:

Hang ten, dude! We wish we really WERE in Hawaii……(Day One)

Jen in the VBS office…. Mom says: "Whatcha doin’?” Jen replies: “Waitin’ for 8:30” – ha ha!! (Day Three)


Look parents, here’s who we have teaching your children about Jesus! LOL. (Day Three)

Children’s Director & VBS Director – together, they boss the job. (Day Four)


Chillin’ on the “beach” – hey, where’s the pool boy, we need some drinks! (Day Four)

Q-Dawg – “wave goodbye!”

Tomorrow night is our last night of VBS. (Wow, that went by fast!) But it doesn’t end there! Immediately following, we all go outside and have fun at the carnival late into the evening hours. It will be so much fun, but we’ll be drop dead tired once we get home - especially Greg, who will have to get up early the next morning for his test. Hopefully he’ll have enough energy to party it up after though!
