VBS Recap(Vacation Bible School)

Many churches have stopped

doing VBS, Im guessing because

it is costly and requires a lot of

volunteers. FCC committed to

doing VBS again this year

because we sincerely believe that

God can touch young hearts in a

way that is tougher the older we

get. We had also seen last yearthat we have a high enough

interest level in the church and

community to make it worth the

effort.

Somewhere close to 30 people

worked hard to make this a

success, some for months ahead

of time (thank you Robyn, Pastor

Mark, Cassie, Carolyn...). And

during the week we had

volunteers signing kids up,

collecting donations for the

missions project, listening to

children recite their memory

verses, leading in songs,

communicating through

skits, teaching at the

stations, running media,

making and serving food,chaperoning kids, and so

forth. Our people stepped up

and were used by God. On

the childrens behalf - Thank

You!

Throughout the week we

had 51 different children

participate. 13 of the older

ones (and many younger

kids) made significantdecisions for Jesus (like

salvation). One of the newer

children was even baptized

last month and has

been attending with

Cassie and Jarrod introduced each night with a skit

SNACK TIME - Laurie, Karrie and

others helped connect the dots between

hearing the lessons and object lessons

with food.

BIBLE TIME - Miss Kathie brought the

BIble alive for the students through voice,

actions, and a bunch of neat props that

the VBS team made.

MISSIONS - Miss Tammy led the

missions and video station. The kids raised

funds to buy mosquito nets for needy

children.

her mother. So you tell me,

was it worth the time and

effort?

I want to encourage you to

plug in to ministry

somewhere. Sometimes

we assume that someone

else will do ... (whatever),

but the reality is that they

may be thinking the same

thing. If you have any

interest at all, pleaserespond to Gods nudge

and step up. Use the

abilities God gave you.

Jesus said that He didnt

come to be served, but to

serve, and to give his life as

a ransom for many Matthew

20:28. He is our model.

I am grateful for those of you

who have chosen to minister

to others through FCC. Keep it

up gang! Lets make our Lord

proud and do this for His

Glory!
