From the Pastor:
We have had a tremendous time this past week in
Vacation Bible School. I know Joyce will bring the update
this morning for the week, but I just want to say what a
good week it was and how well all of our workers did. For
many in our church family, the decorations alone tell us
about this special week. Many, many others got engaged
in some way, from registration and meals to leading a
group of children. Every worker is essential, and I was
impressed with how every worker took seriously what
they were doing and saw opportunities that were eternal
in nature. One of the dangers of VBS is that we can see it
just as a nice thing we do for children in the Summer. It is
a nice thing we do, but it is so far beyond that. Children in
our city have the opportunity to hear of God's plan for
their lives, and the leaders offered Jesus to them in so
many different ways. Seeds were sown and I believe what
we have done will be used by God ultimately to change
lives and eternities. To Joyce, to all who served in VBS,
I want to say "Well done!" Ultimately that is what God
asks of us, to use what talents, to use what abilities, to use
what opportunities we have to impact others. You have
done that with spirit and heart and determination -- well
done! Now is the follow-up phase of Vacation Bible
School, where we as a church family make contact with
children and their families. I hope you will want to be a
part of that -- if you don't know how, talk to Joyce about
the opportunities before us.
