The trip has begun! Read about the events of the first day below.
Everyone arrived at the church at 7:30. We packed up the trailer with the set and decorations, then prayed as a group. We headed out at about 8:30 and got to Wilmington around lunch time. We dropped off the trailer at the church and went to get some lunch. When we got back to the church, there was a group meeting and some free time to unpack some.
After that, a large portion of the kids went out to “canvas” the neighborhood; they handed out flyers and invited people to come to the VBS. Another group stayed at the church to help build the set, while another went to the store to get groceries for the week. We had a little free time before dinner. Most people spent this time blowing up their air mattresses or making their beds up.
Dinner (spaghetti, salad and rolls) was served in the church’s “cafeteria”. We were joined by the head pastor of the church, Jeff Stockford. Once dinner was finished, we entered into a time of prayer and worship. Some of the youth led some praise songs, and after we began to pray and worship the Lord. Hands were laid on the members of the church that attended the meeting. It was a great time of worship!
At the conclusion of the meeting, the youth were surprised with an icecream sundae bar complete with all the fixings. After, they went to a room in the church with a TV hooked up to a Wii and played some fun games together. Lights went out at 11:30 so we would be ready for the next day!
