Vacation Bible School will be June 23rd-27th from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Preschool- 8th grade ( 4 y/o and up unless parent is present). We are looking forward to a really fun year with the theme being Son World Adventure Park where children get to experience a trip to Storybook Land, The Pirate Ship, The Galactic Zone and the Wild West! Together we will learn about making good choices and how God can help us to do that. Along with our great theme, we will have a week full of fun crafts, recreation, bible stories and learning new songs. The children will have a chance to win prizes by learning memory verses and other fun ways. Our Adventure Park will be a thrilling ride with Jesus! Please invite a child to our program.
As VBS depends on the numerous volunteers giving many hours of their time to run the program, I want to give a great big thanks to all our dedicated people. VBS would not exist without your love and commitment for these children. I believe that planting the seed of God's love into these children is one of the most important things we can do and may make a big difference in a child's life somewhere down the road, if not at that moment. Although all of us work really hard to prepare for VBS so we can learn how to make that craft or learn to teach that lesson or learn to teach that song, we never quite get everything perfected. Somehow everything turns out just fine because the most important ingredient is always there. God! He is the one that makes it uplifting. If we show up with love in our hearts, he will do the rest. I do believe the best example for sharing God's love is showing our own love.
As VBS is almost here, I am really excited to have the opportunity to be involved in another year and God has blessed me. I know that for sure when the children that I taught in preschool are looking down on me (because they are taller than me) and they are smiling at me asking if I remember them? We have several kids that I taught in preschool and they have been coming back to VBS every year. I think that is wonderful and hope to see them again this year as well. As I look to God for guidance in leading VBS, I know we will have another awesome year! As for all of you, please take the time to pray for VBS and all who are volunteering. If you did not volunteer and would like to do something, we still need food for our Friday night closing program, pennies rolled, and little odds and ends, please contact Barb at 327-1365. Please make an effort to invite a child to VBS!
