The pictures
on the left show some scenes during the HolyWord Studios filming on Wednesday,
August 9. The morning started off with singing, fellowship, and
prayer at the Sing and Play Soundtrack.
Everyone
at the Sing and Play Soundtrack loved seeing Vacation Bible School
director Kelly Holst getting made up by a rather strange looking Make Up
Lady (Pastor Strope)!
Day
3's Bible Point was "God loves us." Our Bible Story
was "God spares the Israelites during Passover and allows them to
cross the Red Sea" (Exodus 11:1 through 15:21).
The Bible verse for the day was "In the same way your Father in
heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost." -- From Matthew
18:14.
At Chadder's Adventure Theater,
Chadder the Chipmunk and his friend Carmine the
Camel, got into more trouble after talking with two Israelite children
who were preparing to leave Egypt after the Passover. They
explained what happened and Chadder learns how God loved them and loves
us. When we left Chadder, though, he and Carmine were in their
time machine in the middle of the Red Sea with the Israelites on the
eastern shore and the Egyptians to the west in hot pursuit. The
water was ready to close in on them!
Red
Sea Splits were on the menu for the Movie Munchies snack area and the
little girl at left is all smiles as she delivers a tray full of those
splits.
And
all of the film crews looked like they appreciated the
"splits" when they sat down at their tables. This Movie
Munchie was a huge hit!
In
Prop Shop Crafts, the kids created Bouncy Incredi-balls by pouring
powder into a mold then dipping the mold into a plastic cup filled with
water. Once the powder was thoroughly soaked, it expanded.
With the mold off, the powder was transformed into an incredible bouncy
ball. It must be kept in a plastic bag, though, if it is to retain
its bounce. They will be making
kits for the Kid-To-Kid program. The children should bring in one
of the following items: a washcloth, a comb, a bar of soap, a toothbrush
or a tube of toothpaste
to send to the children at the New Fountain of Life Mission in Acuna,
Mexico. At the "Now Playing Games" venue, you see some
children acting like walls of water as someone walks between them, just
like the Israelites once walked between the walls of water in the Red
Sea. In this game, however, when told to stop walking, the walls
of water reached out and tickled the walker! It demonstrated how
God loved the Israelites back then and how He loves us now. At
the Blockbuster Bible Adventure stage, our film crews gathered in
"houses" for the Passover after painting the door frames with
blood (red paint). They prayed for their individual families, just
like the Israelites did in that first Passover. After eating some
matzah bread, they fled their "houses" and staged their own
exodus through a Red Sea. Some got a little wet when they stayed
in the sea (sprinklers) too long! During
Show Time at the end of the morning, our crews became like waves in the
sea, using blue balloons as special effects, as Moses led the Israelites
through the parted waters. After safely on the other side, our
film crews batted the balloons to the front, symbolizing the parted
waters covering up the Egyptian pursuers.
