I can’t help but think that we missed a huge promotional opportunity tonight. It’s Friday night, and this is the end of a long but very exciting week. It was VBS week – Vacation Bible School – and we had about twenty kids for a very high-energy week full of games and music. At least, if you ask the kids, they’ll tell you about the games and music. Truth is, intermingled in all of it was some very well grounded Bible lessons that the kids really took to heart, but they learned in a way that most didn’t know they were learning. And I bet the lessons will stick longer this way, too.
Anyway, back to the missed opportunity. Our theme this year was Avalanche Ranch (Group Publishing), and had a western theme. We’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ all week and the kids have been having a blast. Since it was the last night, we had a special surprise for the kids – we had arranged for a hayride through town. They had a blast, and you can imagine the hootin’ and hollerin’ that took place on that wagon ride.
People all over town came out to see what was going on as the horse-led wagon trotted past their homes in the middle of this village. I immediately thought (at least after the wagon was out of sight of the church) that it would have been a great promotional thing to have a sign on the side to let people know this wagon was from our VBS.
Oh well, the town will be talking about it anyway, and I know how things spread here, everyone will know soon enough.
I wonder why people don’t talk about their faith as freely as they talk about the horses that trotted through the village earlier…
