Vacation Bible School Is
Here! Today stats five fun-filled,
action-packed, Bible-based days as we “Dive In” to VBS 2016. VBS will be this week, June 6-10 from 6:00 –
8:30 PM each evening. Classes will be
offered for children ages 4 through High School.
This year’s VBS Theme is
an under-the-sea adventure entitled “Submerged: Finding Truth Below the
Surface.”
The VBS Motto is: “Jesus
sees. Jesus knows. Jesus Saves.”
The Key verse for the week
is Psalm 139:23-24 which says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my
anxieties; 24 And see if there
is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”
Here are two fun sites to
get you in the VBS mood.
The VBS songs can be found
and played at: https://vbs.lifeway.com/music/
The music videos can be
seen on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOY_GPKg7Zk&list=RDoOY_GPKg7Zk#t=17
Here are several important
last minute actions you are asked to do as we prepare for VBS:
·
Pray for the students
every day as they come to VBS ready to learn the truths of Jesus through the
Bible lessons, music, crafts, recreation, music and refreshments.
·
Pray for the VBS
workers as they prepare, share, and interact with the children. May the children see the love and feel the
compassion of Jesus from each worker.
Workers are listed below.
·
Pray for the Holy
Spirit to move in the hearts of the boys and girls to bring many of them to
salvation in Jesus Christ.
·
Bring your
children and grandchildren to VBS each evening.
·
Invite neighbors
and friends to bring their children.
Perhaps you could bring the children with you to VBS.
·
Have the children
bring an offering each night and small items for Mission Montana.
·
Come to VBS in a
spirit of excitement, expectation, and fun.
This is going to be a
wonderful week of sharing God’s love with the children of our church and
community. Have a blessed week:
Bro. Tim
