STEM '10 Week Two Day Three and Four

It is late, and we have been going hard the last two days.

Sunday: Worshiped with Grace Baptist Church in West Valley City, the largest suburb in the SLC valley.  It is a good church that runs about 100. Their Pastor is Matt Johnson, who has been pastoring here for 3 years, and seen significant growth.  Four years ago it was running down around the 20s, but God used, among other things, the HEBRON canvassing to bring in some new families, and the momentum has continued.  We would be running the VBS for GBC, and wanted to meet the people and run the children's church to promote the VBS.

The remainder of the day was SIX hours of training on the Mormon religion versus biblical Christianity.  There was a little impatience, but everybody made it through.

Monday: Today we had HEBRON worship and devos (special speaker for the week: Paul Fulks!) at 7:30.  Next up was packing to head out to canvass for and set up for VBS.  For those who have experienced VBS set up with our STEM teams, we have a goal to make it fun and special.  Our theme was Science/Space.  This theme posed a bit of a challenge, but it ended up looking great.

We had 15 kids at first, but it bumped up a bit as the VBS progressed.  All went well, and the team really did great.  The church family that was there has commented on our hard work.

Next up was supper, and a long trek into the mountains to watch the sun set and have some group prayer time.  As you can see, we snapped a lot of photos, and the whole group was a bit slap happy on the way home. 

Spirits are up, in the midst of fatigue.

Tomorrow!  We are canvassing/surveying for Paul and Laura Fulks and their church plant.  All are very excited.  Later, more VBS!

Sorry about the missed day...Sunday was brutal!

Thanks all for your prayers!!

Pastor Dave and the team!
