We are having such a great week! Our Vacation Bible School (VBS), Destination Dig: Unearthing the Truth about Jesus, is off to a great start. Let me mention a few things I am grateful for:
· A lot of happy kids. As I write, I hear kids laughing outside my office and the pitter-patter of up and down the hall. It is so important that young people develop good memories of their church.
· Great volunteers. A few weeks ago, we were short on volunteers. Many who have not volunteered before, who don’t have kids attending, stepped up and stepped in. Thank you!
|
|
· Great youth leaders. Many of the youth from our church are volunteering in significant ways: leading games, groups, songs, etc. They are making a big impact, and they are developing a "taste" for service in God’s church.
· Great space. This is the first VBS we have hosted in our space, and it just looks wonderful! As I have said in the past, a permanent church building is not everything, but, it is definitely something. We’ve been able to set up, leave it up, and put the space to work.

As the week progresses, please keep our VBS in your prayers. Pray that the seeds of God's words would find good soil in these young lives; for energy and zeal for our staff and leaders; and finally, safety and health for all!
Warmly,
David
