Thank you for being there!

To God be the Glory!

Thank you everyone for making this camp such wonderful experience! The campers were a joy to be with - between the sleepy faces stifling yawns as we did our morning devotions, all the way to the wide-awake eyes as we went way-past bedtime every night! There was an abundance of laughter and energy within the church compound during the whole camp, which overflowed onto the windy and relaxing park at East Coast on Thursday.

The children may not remember all the details of the very interactive lessons, but we pray that they will always remember the truth that our wonderful God created them as perfect Masterpieces for a very special purpose, that is to do good things which He planned for them.

On behalf of the VBC 2009 committee and the Bedok Methodist Church Children's Ministry, I want to thank all you parents for entrusting your child to us and for supporting us with your kind words and presence during the concert.

God Bless you all!

The children had so much fun at East Coast Park! When we first got there, it looked like it was going to rain, but as we prayed, God slowly blew the dark clouds away. We continued with our games. But just before the children were going to build their sandcastles, it started drizzling. But thank God the drizzle soon stopped. :) The sun came out and shone ever so brightly. Uncle Anthony and Aunty Linda who came down from the west and from town told us it was pouring. But just as they approached the place where we were, it stopped raining. The children built their sandcastles, had their dinner and we saw the beautiful sunset. How awesome is that! Praise be to God! :)

God`s beautiful Masterpiece :)

A very good afternoon dear parents, it is now 2.30pm. Here are more photos from last night and this morning. :)
