VBS 2023: Keepers of the Kingdom
VBS Opening - The kids gathered to sing songs, hear corny jokes from Lady Karen, meet Sir Godfrey, and learn about the putting on the whole armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Sir Godfrey, though he looks intimidating, is actually quite gentle and enjoyed greeting our young lords and ladies.

Both children and adults alike lended a hand to make VBS and our friendly dragon a success! (See what we did there?)
Sir John and Sir Godfrey guarded the gates, taking registry of everyone entering the kingdom.

Sir Jim led the games portion of VBS. Here they are preparing to play blind man's bluff.
Puns abound in the kingdom of "Castle Rock."
Wooden swords and shields went to those who guessed closest to the number of hands on the dragon and the number of "canon balls" in the jar. But everyone went home with a few goodies!
The helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of readiness in the Gospel of peace, and sword of the spirit along with some Twizzlers make a good snack. *Please consult your dentist before attempting to eat armor.
Stained "glass" was one of the kids' art projects. Stained glass has long been a way to portray biblical accounts.
