Community Feast

Already at day 4 of the VBS, the colour for today was gold/yellow. Serving as a reminder of the place called "heaven" that Jesus promised he is preparing for His faithful followers, this colour brings with it a message of hope. After today's story a number of the children came to talk to Mom and said they wanted Jesus to make their heart clean. What a joy to know that Jesus can speak to a child's heart, and draw them gently to Himself.

After the VBS, we went down to the area where the traditional tents were set up along the river. Stooping to enter through the flap of the cooking tent, we were greeting by a plenteous array of sights and sounds. The ground in the tent was covered by fresh and fragrant conifer boughs, and around the fire in the middle a number of wild geese were roasting.

Also, Cameron captured this photo of a moose heart (one of two) roasting by the fire:

Before the afternoon ended Cameron did a unicycle-demo, much to the amusement, enjoyment, and intrigue of the crowd which quickly gathered.

In the evening, we again went to see the bears, where Cameron took several more excellent black bear photos. Talk about close-up wildlife!
