This morning we had our first day of VBS at CCC. It was a blast! We entered a wardrobe, felt the chilly winter air come through the wardrobe doors, walked through a winter path past the lamppost and into Cair Paravel. We sang worship songs, we watched a Narnia movie clip, we had a knight playing the piano, we ate Turkish Delight, ran races, painted a lamppost snow globe, learned how our speech reveals our heart, and sent encouragement to Gainesville firefighters.

Turkish Delight

As you know our theme is based on the book by C.S. Lewis The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. We hope most of you have read it by now. We have never done a VBS based on a book before. This is new to us, and many volunteers have gotten really creative to write the curriculum, design art projects, work out games and cook up Narnian snacks. We have poured over the book and fallen even more in love with Lucy and Peter, Aslan, the Beavers, Mr. Tumnus and other creatures with noble character. We have forgiven Edmund and overlooked Susan being bossy and loved them in the end too.

It doesn’t matter if you are a child or adult these stories capture our heart, and in the clip below Sally Lloyd-Jones will tell us why these books and this author is so special.
