This has been one of the most extraordinary weeks in my pastoral career. Vacation Bible School is always for me the highlight of the church year because there is nothing that we do that is more important than spreading the Good News to the next generation. Dana and her crew have done such an outstanding job - WOW. Last night, we had 91 children in the building, and I know that we will have more as the week goes on! My heart just sings with joy as I feel the sanctuary rockin' and rollin' with kids praising Jesus. My prayer is that each of you could experience this!
Even last night, when due to the power outage at the church (two transformers blew right outside the Everett St. entrance) we had to end VBS early, everything went fine. The kids got almost all of their lessons in, and didn't seem too much worse for the wear. I want to personally thank all our volunteers for their efforts in calling parents, dealing with kids, and going with the flow as we kept the disturbance to a minimum. God provided once again - but who is surprised at that? {For those of you curious, MC had the power back on by 8:45 - great work by those guys!}
Our FIESTA finale for VBS will be Friday night @ 6:00 - I know you will want to come see what God has been doing through the lives of these children and volunteers this week.
Sunday, we will be distributing our Christmas in July collections - meet at the church at 5:00 PM to be a part of this great ministry.
See you Sunday!
