VBS Begins Tonight

(This picture does not do it justice, I'll take more)

Today we begin our annual Vacation Bible School and I am excited. It is a major undertaking to do it right. Our stage and props are excellent (one volunteer spent over 80 hours on it and did a tremendous job). The story tellers, craft leaders, worship leaders, and many others are well prepared. Our children's director Tacey has went above and beyond the call of duty as has our early childhood director Kristy. We do all this because we believe it can make a real impact upon both the kids that attend and the adults that help. 

God loves kids and so do we. Jesus called the little children to him so he could bless them. He used them to teach a spiritual lesson about humility in God’s kingdom. We too see the value of every child and do not hesitate to put effort, resources, and energy into serving children. Statistically, the mass majority of those that commit their lives to Christ do this as children. We have a tremendous opportunity to teach kids about the Christ in a fun and creative way.

It is a joy to see the efforts of so many dedicated people come together as it is going to in about an hour.  Please pray for our V.B.S. because it has the potential to be wonderful.
