AGENCY D3-VBS
The VBS On-line Registration is up and on the church website. We have tested it and it does work.
If you have previously registered as a volunteer and/or your children as participants, there is a "click here" in red for previous registrations after you go to the initial registration page. If your or your child's information has not changed, such as address etc., then it will automatically update your registration for this year. It will change the last grade completed for your child/children automatically for them to move up a grade from last year. Please start registering now so that we have all the DLBC kids registered and assigned to their age groups. We are excited about this year's VBS. We are doing Lifeway's "AGENCY –D3" VBS. We will examine the evidence to "Discover, Decide, and Defend" about the life of Jesus. VBS will be the week of July 14 - 18th. Student volunteers will need to be approved by Pastor Adam and Miz Brenda. We will have the Middle School VBS again this year for 6th - 8th grade. Children's VBS will be for Kindergarten thru the 5th grade. So if you would like to teach the Bible, make crafts, create snacks, play games, do artwork and help decorate, work the front desk (registration), or be an agency tour guide please get registered as soon as possible.

Financial Giving
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Cor. 9:7
May
June
Like most kids in elementary school, you
probably studied inventors—those men and
women who work tirelessly to bring us technology
that changes our lives. From a movable type
printing press which made it possible for the Bible to be published
for the masses, to the Internet which now allows multiple
translations of the Bible to show up in the palm of your hand. From
figuring out how to harness electricity to creating a glass bulb which
can light up the night. Inventors have spent countless hours on
prototypes, mistakes, or even failures on their journey toward a
breakthrough—that one moment when everything comes together
making a theory into a reality.
Simply put: being an inventor takes a whole lot of endurance. But
let’s face it—life in general takes a whole lot of endurance too.
Kids have been in school for eight or nine months by now. They are
tired of the classes, the schoolwork, and the tests. They’re ready for
summer, yet they know they still have a few weeks left. Like you, we
want them to finish strong. That’s one of the reasons why we’re
taking the month of May to look more closely at endurance.
ENDURANCE is sticking with what you started even when it gets
tough. When work gets tough, when exhaustion sets in on the soccer
field, or when that science project just won’t come together,
endurance is what gives us that extra something to keep us going
until we finish what we began.
The believers in the early church faced all sorts of trials and
suffering that could have easily made them question their faith and
abandon the mission Jesus had for them. Yet, they remained strong.
They endured through all of it because they had faith that
everything they faced was worth it—knowing that more people would
know the message of Jesus.
Memory verse: Galatians 6:9, NIrV: “Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up.” When we have endurance, we can know that it will be worth it.
We’ll experience the joy of finishing what we started.
Week Four’s Bible story: We end our month with the special vision that
God gives John on the Isle of Patmos. (Revelation 21:1-8, 22-27;
22:1-5) John assured us that God knows how His one big story will end.
We get a tiny peek of what that will look like. And it will be amazing.
Bottom Line: I can stick with it because God knows the end of the story.
We pray kids will find huge comfort in discovering that no matter what
they face, God has it already worked out.
