Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout His Power!

Our Vacation Bible School this year had everyone talking about Jesus' miraculous power! It was hands-down the most exciting VBS we've ever run, and our decorations were one reason why! It was the work of a few very full weeks to deck out the fellowship hall as a crazy science lab, but the results were completely worth it!
My science teacher at school lent me some great beakers and test tubes as props for our main table. Rope lights and fiber optics made the whole display shine, and an aquarium bubbler brought some of the beakers to life.
Little details like this barrel overflowing with balloons were fun and easy ways to fill up the lab.
We even decorated the long hallway into the fellowship hall with a variety of tactile obstacles and called it a "decontamination chamber".
It took a full day of painting to put together this crazy computer for our Cinema Science room.

We finished the room off with silver streamers and the cool Bible verse posters.
The craft room was scaled down, since too much decorating just adds to the clutter when the kids are all crafting there, but we liked the spinners hanging in the kitchen pass through and the big Bible Buddy posters.
We also added a corner just for Missions, where the kids learned about the kids around the world who would be helped by our soccer ball project.
The mega beaker was overflowing with the good deeds the kids of VBS did with their Daily Challenges by the end of the week.

Test tube treats was accented by a giant model of Fizz and some cool science cut-outs.

We also had a wonderful periodic table of the books of the Bible that I found through the Group forums and placed on one of two easels that marked off the edge of the stage with caution tape. Trust me, we needed the caution tape to keep the kids back from all the exciting experiments we did during the week. The decorations were a huge hit, and I'm very thankful that I got so many good ideas on-line and from Group! Since Kairi, Nicky, and I did almost all of the decorating all by ourselves, we were pretty impressed by how well it came out!
