7 days x ( 1000 kids + 500 volunteers+3 Mad Scientists) = VBS 2008

We’ve been preparing at Calvary for the epic awesomeness that is VBS.  This year we’re doing the Power Lab with all sorts of cool gadgets, trippy lighting,  colorful orbs, and explosive experiments.  Matt Davis is the creative genius who oversees all this chaos.

These three mad scientists will be teaching the kids about the power of Jesus all week.  We’ve got a couple of segue scooters for them to get around on and plenty of stuff for them to blow up.  Should be a lot of fun.  We’ve had a great crew pulling together video segments about them for each day.  There’s even a special segment we’ll show on Wednesday night when Calvary takes over the Discover Science Center.

Of course, one of the coolest things so far was getting a Delorean – tricked out with all the Back to the Future props – into the lobby of the Worship Center.  Ryan Roehl, our multi-talented tech guy at Calvary, engineered a ramp so it could drive straight through the center doors with about an inch to spare on each side.  Thanks to Victor for the photos.

It’s quite a production, but totally worth it when you see how huge of an impact this one week has on so many people’s lives.  I’m glad that I get to help.  If you’re free next week – it’s not to late to sign up…
