Day 3 Monday

Today we had 13 children for VBS that participated in Outrigger Island activties such as Story, Missions, Recreation, Crafts and Snowcones.  The children were also encouraged to bring an offering for Tuesday, and that was penny day.  All the children were given a lunch provided by Lake Arthur Baptist Church, they all received surfboard pizzas.  Ron Hanks challanged the children that if they were to bring a friend to VBS and reach a goal of 20 then they will be able to throw water balloons at him on the last day.  There were a few people whom showed up from Cavern Baptist Church to participate as well.

The special projects work began today as well, we pulled up the carpet in their worship center, we trimmed their bushes, and began working on the hutch that protects the bapistry warmer.  The main focus after Monday will be to complete the hutch, and this will be our major project for the week.

Operation backpack also began today as our team went out to purchase all the supplies and backpack.  This was a fun and exciting challenge to say the least.  We were also surprised that God did more work on operation backpack as Cavern Baptist Church raised $300.  As a result we were able to buy supplies and backpacks for 63 children in the Lake Arthur Community. 

God Bless
