VBS...

What an exciting week it is!  Vacation Bible School is in full swing and we are having a blast!  Each year I have the awesome opportunity to lead the music for the kids (along with other brave women that don’t mind looking silly).  I have been working on the songs to lead in VBS and had such a great laugh at this 37-year-old mother of three trying to do all these crazy moves, but at the same time, so humbled at the words to these songs that brought such a sweet reminder of what my Savior has done for me.  Continuing bright, and early, tomorrow morning, hundreds of kids will storm the doors of SHBC to finish out their fun filled week at VBS!  What an awesome opportunity we have had to show these kids Jesus!  We get to teach them songs, tell them stories from God’s Word, and help them make crafts and all the while share God’s love with them.

I want to ask you all to pray for VBS.  Pray that many children will come to know Jesus.  What better way to start their summer than to give their life to him!  These kids are the church of today!  We have a tremendous mission field right in our very midst.  

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Tomorrow night these kids will stand on the stage in the Worship Center and share a message through song just as we do week after week.  Pray that they “get it”; pray that those in the audience “get it”; and pray that our God is glorified!  Vacation Bible School is not just for kids!  VBS is reaching the homes and neighborhoods of these kids and we are seeing lives transformed!  Praise God!

Blessings,
