VBS Elijah Night 2

Elijah Night 2: A VBS First.

Drama, Actually Drama. After the PoBs loosened everyone up we got into the story of the Widow and her Son. The boy got sick and died. He sang, she sang, Elijah sang and he lived!

And over those 15 minutes the kids got worried, got sad and some of them cried. People may question making kids cry in VBS but I think its an appropriate emotional reaction to the story.

They were attached to the boy enough so that when he got sick and died they felt it. Joe, Laura and Hutt sang beautifully. There were a plethora of little sniffles and sobs when the boy died. And a cheer when he came back to life.

As per usual Ahab and Jezy were funny. But the most memorable gag of the night might have been when the well started to fall onstage towards Laura and Hutt stopped it then held up a hand to to audience as if to say, "It's ok. I got this."
