Fun “Friday” is Live!

It takes many hands to put together such a big week-long event with so many children. HUGE thanks to Nancy Leardi, our director, for doing such a fantastic job! Without her, none of these beautiful pictures of smiling children would have ever existed!
Also, a heartfelt thanks to all our area leaders — snacks, music, games, storytime and art. The planning that went into each of these areas, from every fish stuck on the wall to making sure your part reinforced the theme each day, was truly well done.
Of course, I have to thank the teachers for being such great leaders for the more than 100 children and youth volunteers. From where I was (and I was EVERYWHERE!), it seemed like the children were having a great time!
Last but not least, from the Assembly Leader area, I have to thank Gabe, Lindsey and Gregory for being great assistants, and of course, Bradley, for being the most cooperative Starfish I’ve ever seen! He worked really hard on his lines, and for this to happen in his “summer-of-unstructured-leisure” is just an a-maaaaaaa-zing accomplishment! Thank you, Nancy, for giving Bradley and me the opportunity to strengthen our bond.
Parents: please watch the VBS blog for an announcement about how to order prints. All proceeds from print sales will support the mission fund of the First Presbyterian Church. And, OF COURSE, thank you for lending us your children. I’m sure I speak for all the VBS volunteers when I say: We had a wonderful week at the Great Bible Reef! See you all next year!
Peace mon,
Love, Jelly
Wow, Bradley has gotten so big. I don’t think I’ve seen him for five years. Psst… Julie, are you not doing the Linkedin?

This is fantastic! I love the reggae music to go along with the reef theme. It looks like everyone had such a great time.

Julie- you’re already signed up as Julie Walton Photography. Just type in your email and password. I sent you an invite and probably few others who are dying to get linked with you.
Hi Newman — Jules here — I AM? Hm. I’ll have to check that out. Probably one of a million passwords I forgot.
