A couple of weeks ago my church, Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian, in Powell, Tennessee held it’s annual Vacation Bible School.

There was a big turnout as usual and we averaged about 65-70 kids a night for the 4 evenings plus about that many adult volunteers to teach classes, supervise  outdoor activities, and prepare snacks for the campers and adults.

Since I’m serving as co-chairman of our kitchen committee I was in the kitchen those 4 evenings but I did sneak out a couple of times to make some photos.

Here's the kitchen volunteers getting ready to start preparing food for vacation bible school.

It’s a pretty big job preparing a snack for the kids and a meal for all the adult volunteers.

We focused on both healthy snacks and meals. Each night had lots of fresh fruits like the delicious watermelon in the tray on the table plus lots of other fruits, raw veggies, and other healthy snacks.

We were really blessed with great weather all 4 days so the kids got to do lots of outdoor activities all four days.

At the end everyone agreed that it was another great vacation bible school experience for all at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church and a continuing and important part of our ministry and church.

If you’re a newcomer to Knoxville or a long time resident, we would love to have you visit our church. And if you’re looking for a church home please consider us; we would be honored to receive you.
