“Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” –Matthew 19:14
This year’s Vacation Bible School will center on one of the most beloved and perhaps most memorized passages in all of Scripture, Psalm 23. This world often leaves children anxious and searching for security. Every day next week, though, they will hear the wonderful truth that the Lord is our Shepherd who knows His sheep, provides for us, leads us, and never leaves us. Throughout the week, all the volunteers, from music to games, will seek to show the comfort and hope found in belonging to the true Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ
(John 10:11).
VBS is so much more than a week of activities. It’s an opportunity to remind children and their families of the lasting love and care of Christ through His church. A good number of children who attend will be first-time visitors or families looking for a church home as well. Your warm welcome, encouraging conversation, and prayers help immeasurably for them to experience the love of Christ in tangible ways. Psalm 78:4 reminds us that we are called to “tell the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD.” So, any day next week, even if you aren’t an official volunteer, come and help show the love of our Savior to these wonderful kids! If not, please join us in praying that God would use this week to draw children and their families to Himself and into the life of His church, where they can continue to grow under the care of the Good Shepherd.
