One year, my son won an ipod in the attendance drawing...an ipod touch! In my day a bicycle was top prize, or even one of those "award" Bibles. Sheesh! <br /><br />One thing I do love, is that the children sing the music for the rest of the summer. That's my favorite part, I think.Missy Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020559836786005693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894524135734016573.post-7830481149526626522015-06-01T20:09:17.142-07:002015-06-01T20:09:17.142-07:00I never attended a themed Bible School either and ...I never attended a themed Bible School either and I always loved it! The first theme that I ever saw was when my son was 8 (before that he was deprived because....well, NO THEME!!) But that first theme was great. So good they did it for about 4 years. It was a Hebrew village in Jesus' time. They made clay bricks, jewelry, baskets, and cardboard sandals. They all wore robes (sheets or bath robes) and head coverings. They paid for their purchase in the marketplace with lima beans from a leather pouch they made. They marketplace was tents made of sheets and sticks. They ate foods of the time. Each day a Biblical character visited them, Moses, Noah, The Good Samaritan..... The kids loved it so much that when they aged out, they kept coming to help with the little ones! It must have been good because my son is 36 and he still talks about it.....and has his little leather pouch with gold painted lima beans. After those 4 back to basics years, they went Hollywood with Bible School and it wasn't nearly as much fun.chubmomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357482238451868691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894524135734016573.post-20302355521391566412015-06-01T19:53:01.366-07:002015-06-01T19:53:01.366-07:00I'm sitting here chuckling and stopped to than...I'm sitting here chuckling and stopped to thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane.

Crafts, sports, etc. when I was a kid. Saturdays was for Catholic bible classes too. Learning about God and his goodness. You know Joni, commenting about kids now with their electronics reminds me when my parents saying how things were back in the day. Now we are too. Glad your Internet is up and running. Good post Joni, have a nice day at work. Kathleen in Az Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215975672519363676noreply@blogger.com
