CHECK IT OUT!!! Is there a more perfect way to end VBS week than with a beautiful “thank you”?! Thank you again to our MANY volunteers! It was a great week!
Is this the coolest thank you card ever, or WHAT? That’s me on the right! It was presented to me after church today with the mat signed by some of the kids who were at Sunday School. I love that it documents one of my favorite parts of our Vacation Bible School — each day’s closing assembly — in which we played games with members of the youth group to turn over letters that revealed the message of the day. Since we didn’t play the game on Firetruck Friday — our “choose to be thankful” day — that makes this card that much more special to me!
Thank you all SO much for coming to church today! We had a great turnout and I am so touched that so many of you came to sing a few of our songs and see Prince William and Micah perform one last skit for the congregation. It was so great to see you all again, and to share our great VBS week with our church family! Thank you again to Nancy for all your hard work organizing the week!
I feel so blessed to be part of something so special. I love that First Presbyterian Church gives me the opportunity to share my faith and love for Jesus with so many people. And it’s AWESOME that so many of you forward the slide shows to grandparents and other friends and relatives. It means a lot to me that we can share our gifts with people far and wide!
The adorable illustration was created by animator and character designer, Alfred Pangkerego. I am simply overwhelmed with gratitude, Alfred! You are one talented and thoughtful man! Thank you thank you thank you! I will treasure this card always!
I mean, WOW! I have my very own anime drawing of ME! I LOVE IT! Love the hat, the orange belt, the blue block of letters on my shirt — everything! It’s just PERFECT! I’ve been a huge anime fan ever since a dear friend of mine brought the anime movie, “My Neighbor Totoro,” into my house when Bradley was about 3 years old. Alfred, this really is the coolest thing EVER! I am humbled by your generosity and talent. Suh-WEET!

Is that the Jefferson Monument or the Taj Mahal on your mast?
Hey Newman — Jefferson, at around 6:30 a.m., best time to go if you ask me. –jws

Just to show how detailed he made this I took a screenshot of the actual pic and his drawing:
