Vacation Bible School Week

Greetings in the Name of Jesus,

This is Vacation Bible School week. I love VBS. It is a time to connect with children and share the love of God through Jesus Christ with children who are eager to learn more about Jesus. 

I hope you have been able to visit our Facebook page and see the pictures. The Spirit of God has been moving through the hallways, worship areas, and classrooms. The kids are having fun, learning Bible stories, laughing, making snacks and crafts. 

Thank you, Mari Brunson, for the hard work you did last year and now this year as director. Thank you, Molly Gardner, our Children’s Director, for your hard work stepping in to help build on last year’s success. This week has been amazing!

We are setting the stage for a great children’s ministry. Let’s continue to build forward to reach families with children and youth.

This Sunday, June 16, we will celebrate VBS with the children singing in worship and recognizing our VBS workers. Pastor Jana Morales will be preaching on Jesus calming the storm. A story from our VBS week. 

Next Sunday, June 23, we will commission our youth mission team at the 11:00 a.m. Bridge service. I will begin a sermon series on the journeys of Paul as shared in the book of Acts. These are some of my favorite stories of the Bible. They are full of action, adventure, and drama. It is “made for TV” stuff. 

Please make it a priority to be in worship as we support our children, youth, and the faithful volunteers who make these ministries possible.

See you Sunday!

Pastor John Allen

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
