Summer Spectacular

We just finished 3 days at Summer Spectacular which is a vacation bible school on steroids. We spent an hour each night in bible classes learning about Esther and then we went to the auditorium for a Broadway type musical production of the story of Esther. It was great. They had to split the production into two sessions this summer due to the large turn out in the past. They said that we had 2800 people at this first session each night and that they have 1800 already signed up for session 2 starting tonight! Wow, what a huge blessing this is to those that normally don't hear God's message.



Charles had a great time. The cast stayed after the production each night and signed the kids shirts and gave out gifts to the kids. King Xerxes handed out plastic swords which I think was Charles' favorite. This was a huge milestone for Charles. He has always been afraid of anyone in costume. Once he got started though there was no stopping him.
Here are some pictures:
