Kids Happenings May 2018
Hello church family,
I would like to start this article by giving a huge “THANK YOU!“ to all of my Sunday morning children's teachers and Wednesday evening AWANA leaders. You ALL are amazing. Our children, families, and church are blessed to have you leading our children weekly with such love and passion. Many of you have been dedicated teachers for decades and others are fairly new. No matter how many years you have been pouring into this young generation, know that you are building the Kingdom of God by teaching, equipping and leading by example every week. I pray that more and more adults are encouraged by your example and consider investing into our children the way you have. Our children’s ministry is truly blessed by all of you.
We are closing in on VBS, June 25th - 29th 6-8:30 pm. Thank you to everyone that has signed up to help this summer! We had our Vacation Bible School “Vision Casting” meeting at the end of April. With over 50 volunteers present I would say it was a success! Our volunteers are “Ready and Geared up” for the “Game On!” theme (that’s code for anything that has to with sports…). Here are some facts to give you an idea of the impact Vacation Bible School has in communities. VBS started in 1898 and is used by more than 25,000 churches each year to reach 2.5 million people. Last year, more than 70,000 salvation decisions were reported as a direct result of VBS. Our church alone averages close to 200 registered children with 15-20 children making salvation decisions each summer. In other words, VBS makes life changing differences in the life of a child.
VBS isn't just about fun, games, and snacks. Its primary purpose is leading people to experience the life-transforming power of the gospel. Our online registration will be available mid May. Parents, “Gear Up and Get Ready” to invest in your child’s spiritual growth by registering your child for vacation bible school. Thank you for allowing me to love on your little ones.
God Bless
