Making Ice Cream


Scream For Ice Cream

The 2nd day of our Polar Exploration started with the Sing and Play blast.  It was a joyous event with lots of kids joining in, as you can see in the first picture on the left.

Day 2's Bible Point was "Jesus' love is refreshing (COOL!)."  Our Bible Story was "Jesus helps the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:4-30).  The Bible verse for the day was: "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." -- From Luke 7:50b.

At the  Bible Exploration Theater, the cool crews went on an outdoor adventure in search of Samaria.  When they became hot and thirsty, they learned from the woman at the well how "Jesus' love is refreshing."

Everyone enjoyed watching Chadder the Chipmunk in another segment of Chadder's Snow Show.  When Chadder arrived at the polar home of world famous artic explorer Polar Pierre, he was freezing cold!  He soon found out, even though he didn't believe it, how warm he could get in a house made of ice.  After the show, the VBS students marked their student book Bible at Luke 7:50b.

A real cool crew stopped by the Igloo Eats venue to prepare the day's snacks for the rest of the Vacation Bible School.  They had a good time creating "Polar Bear Ice Cream" from scratch.  Maybe the best time, however, was when the other Expedition crews stopped by to eat it.  It was really good!

It was a lot of fun at Glacier Games where children lined up with plastic spoons in their mouths (representing penguin beaks) to carry a chunk of ice.  They did a neat "penguin waddle" over to a bucket to deposit the ice.

During a break, they were able to nibble on some tasty mini-wedding cakes at the Igloo Eats Center were a crew of kids prepared the tasty morsels for the entire Bible School

In Cool Crafts, Snow Globes were the cool thing for the day.  The children literally made globes, which, when they shook them up, they could watch the snow fall inside the globe.  It was a reminder of how Jesus' love is refreshing!

At the Polar Bear Club they made Polar Bear Snap Key Chains to take home with them.

The closing ceremony for the day at the Ice Station Celebration was a sight to behold.  When Wally Russ, being played in a skit by a long-time church member, saw a Beware of Avalanche sign, he scoffed at it.  He wound up literally buried in an avalanche of Styrofoam snow.
