    Wesley Team Hosts VBS

The Wesley team put on a Vacation Bible School Tuesday and Wednesday at 4:00p.m.  Even though we were in conflict with Carnival activities we still had a fine turnout.
Vacation Bible School Around 40, I'd say, the first day.

Two happy VBS participants.  (I thought the decorate-your-own-hat was a great idea!)

Two happy VBS'ers

The dental hygiene portion of our program The team did some Jesus teaching and some hygiene teaching.  Those are toothbrushes the kids are waving.  The team even made up music:

Brush your teeth, brush your teeth every day
Brush your teeth, keep away the decay
You want to be able to chew and to smile
You don't want your teeth to fall out in a pile
So brush your teeth, brush your teeth every day
Brush your teeth, keep the decay away.

I'm sure you can contact Wesley UMC of Beaumont, Texas if you want the additional verses!

Seems like we were up to 60 kids on the last day. Little Lempira

VBS A re-enactment of the death of the legendary Indian known as Lempira took place as part of Carnival.  Here's a young Lempira that came to Vacation Bible School. (Incidentally, the lempira is the unit of currency in Honduras.  $1 U.S. = 14.24 lempiras this week.)

Soon after Lempira arrived these three Lempirettes (?) also arrived at VBS.

You don't have to come all the way to Utila to bless little kids with the good news of Jesus.  If your church has already had its VBS why not help out with a children's Sunday School class?
