Christian Olympics: Running the Race
VBS 2006 Purcellville church of Christ
Opening Ceremony

~ ~ ~ The Parade of Nations ~ ~ ~

  During the parade of nations, delegates from each country marched into the opening ceremony carrying the flag of their country.  

     


  Note: no children were assigned to the USA, so none would have bragging rights over the others. Instead, the USA was the "host country" of the event.  

~ ~ ~ Olympic Commissioner's Welcoming Statement ~ ~ ~

  The Olympic Commissioner welcomed all countries and their delegates. He explained that the Kingdom of Heaven is like the Olympics in that it has people from the entire world: people who look different, speak differently, and have different customs -- just like the Olympics!  

~ ~ ~ The Presentation of the Torch ~ ~ ~

The torch was presented by the torch bearer for all to see (and laugh!)


Now how do you turn this thing off???

~ ~ ~ Official Olympic Songs ~ ~ ~

Delegates joined together to sing the official Olympic songs.


Some of the songs sung were:

The B-I-B-L-E
Roll the Gospel Chariot
1-2-3, the Devil's After Me!
The More We Read the Bible
