VBS Day 1 Dakota Alliance VBS at First Baptist Church Pictures to follow soon


God is good all the time and today the sun provided us comfort, joy and lots of giggling children at VBS as we held our first day of the Dakota Alliance VBS at First Baptist Church.

Dakota Alliance Church had a water problem in the basement on Monday morning and we had a quick change in plans as to where the VBS would be held as we arrived on Tuesday.

Thankfully Pastor Richard and Sharon were instrumental in coordinating a new site for VBS which is very near the Dakota Church. We are very blessed to be at First Baptist Church to host VBS. Today we had songs, puppets, creation stories, tie dye, games, corn dogs, afternoon art and journal lessons.

Additionally, in the afternoon, many team members went over to help clean up the basement at the Dakota Alliance Church and complete landscaping projects.

The team met together to pray and have an evening meal tonight and we had plenty of opportunities to hold and hug sweet babies and visit with parents.

We are excited to share many vivid photos very soon with everyone including puppet skits and tie dye, but our day has been tremendously full and joyful and time for sharing is short tonight.

Our campfire concluded at around 9:30pm tonight right after a jiffy pop popcorn competition won by Jullian!

Plans have changed a bit this year as far as the site, but when we are able to see sweet smiling faces arrive for VBS, all seems complete and the joy far exceeds any of our expectations that we could have ever imagined!  

Truly, our Sisseton team put in a full day and we are looking forward to sharing the day tomorrow with our Sisseton Church family.
