VBS Sunday Finale

'Crocodile Dock' Vacation Bible School

Grand Finale Service, Sunday, July 26, 2009

Preparing for service....

The service begins with songs of praise from our VBS Kids

Skeeter Skeecrest begins the program
'Top Croc: The Search for the Most Fearless Friend"



Skeeter explains that the panel of judges will be looking for the
most fearless friend and urges folks to vote




The Judges: Snappy McTurtle (Wayne Sourbeck)
Coco Nutty Shrimp (Wanda Gabbert) and
Cranky Simon Crawfish (Kevin Godin)




The first contestant ....
"Cora Cobra' (Linda Sourbeck)
Cora's afraid of fire ....

and tries to put one out all by herself

The next contestant is

Tammy Campbell (Kelly McKee)

and she drinks a glass of tomato juice!

Snappy & Coco Nutty thinks she's done a wonderful job,

but Cranky Simon doesn't agree ...

Interspersed with the contestants acts of fearlessness,

the kids from Crocodile Dock VBS sing

The third contestant is Kimberly Brown (Becka Garland)

Kimberly bravely faces other kids in her lunchroom

(Tom Gabbert, Don Bolton & Kim Garland)

and bravely goes to sit with the new girl in school (Artie Wilkins)

Once again Snappy & Coco Nutty think Kimberly is wonderfully brave,

but Simon isn't all that impressed ... yet!

The kids from VBS sing once again as Simon begins to do

some soul searching

Contestant number four, Scott Freeman (Steve Hurst) tells

Skeeter of how his older brother used to scare him

at bedtime and how afraid he was

Scott's Mom (Camilla McKee) always came in to see if he was alright,

and when Scott knew Jesus was always with him, he wasn't afraid any longer!

Seeing Cranky Simon looking so upset, Skeeter goes

to see if he's alright

Simon tells Skeeter of how God has changed his heart

and begins to sing and praise the Lord with the VBS kids

Truly God has done a work in Simon's heart!

Everyone joins in rejoicing and thanking God for His mercy

Simon agrees to be the fifth contestant

His test is to be blindfolded and do what Skeeter tells him to do

Just as God never leaves us alone, Simon's friends come to

help Simon pass the test

Service ends with songs from our wonderful VBS Kids

Pastor Bill concludes the service by thanking Lynn Bolton

for her untiring work in putting this year's Vacation Bible School

together.

We all offer our thanks to Lynn and her vision of having VBS

at Grace Bible Church this year.

We look forward to what next year's VBS will be!
