I've had a busy weekend (and week, as my silent blog reflects!).

Friday we closed out a week of Vacation Bible School. It was held at my dear friend's church (about 20 minutes away from me). Each day I loaded up my truck (it was full every day--if there had been a carpool prize, I would have won it!) and drove down to be the "snack lady".

It was a great week full of fun lessons, noisy kids, and way to much sugar (I have a bone to pick with Group Publishing about that one, LOL!). However, one thing really stood out for me. At the end of the week, all of the workers stayed behind to breakdown and clean the church for Sunday's service. As we scrubbed bathrooms, vacuumed, and mopped floors, one of the parents of my carpool kids and her sons made lunch for all of us (and our children, too!). This would be a remarkable example of servanthood in itself; but as a group, we represented at least FOUR different churches--some mainline denominations, some not. This VBS was a true representation of the Body working together for Christ's cause--and it was joyous and fun.

It makes one wonder what else the universal church could accomplish if we chose to serve side by side.

The church was clean and shiny, but my weekend had just started...
