Panda Mania

Where God is Wild about You!

What a great outreach to our community as almost half of the VBS students were not EUMC members!  We had 34 young panda fans learning all about God's wild love for us during Vacation Bible School.

The church's VBS program, PandaMania, which ran August 15 through 19, included a daily visit from Panda Patty.  Children from ages 4 to 12 learned all about pandas through Chadder's movie mania.  Activity centers included Wild Bible adventures, crazy crafts, snacks lively songs and bamboo games.  Ask the kids or Jim Munro about the giant fish!  For our mission project this year we took a daily offering for Project Chacocente in Nicaragua.  During the week we collected $153.10 and added $332.90 with a special offerings on Sunday for a total of $486.00.  We also collected school supplies for the project's school.  Erynn Motak will deliver the school supplies when she goes to Nicaragua in December.

Photos of the VBS activities will soon be on the church web site.  Cathy Jeffers, VBS director, suggests you might hear some of the PandaMania songs sung by our Joyful Noise Choir this fall.

A huge thank you goes out to all the leaders and helpers who worked together for another successful VBS!
