Doing VBS???

Vacation Bible School will be July 5-9 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.  Many times the conversation floats around "are you doing VBS, or are you working in VBS?"  Often times being involved in VBS is a traditional part of the church summer plans.

This year, may we reflect on the power of this opportunity and blessing to follow the Lord in this ministry.  This is an open door to welcome children to our church, to show them love and pour into their lives as we follow a fun filled VBS program.  These fun things we do with the kids, the kind words we share and the truths that they receive can plant seeds of God's Word in their hearts and prayerfully they will one day grow into a fruitful Christian.  So, we're doing so much more than "doing VBS", we are giving of ourselves, following the Great Commission and extending God's love and grace into the lives of others.  

Whatever inconvenience we may face during this week, whatever free days or changed plans we must make to accommodate this week, whatever sacrifice large or small we may have to make, will not compare to the giving, teaching and obeying the Lord in doing His work.  Many lives are being influenced and impacted for the Lord, and what a blessing it is to be able to partake in this opportunity!

This year let's "DO VBS" with a purposeful, faithful and loving heart and may a harvest of souls be reaped to the glory of God!
