Society is dealing with the burden of kids who have checked out of life and who, at such an early age, have little hope. They are being bombarded by lifestyles that run counter-cultural to what God designed us to be. We talk about what the church can do and how Christians can make a difference in a fallen society. We struggle with answers to these kinds of needs. I can honestly say I don’t know how our society can make a difference in kids who seem to have little hope.
What I do know is Vacation Bible School each year helped to make a real difference in my life. I can remember specific events at VBS when I was a child. I learned what a POW was, and I heard how God helped this POW through his ordeal. I remember pledging allegiance to the flag and to the Bible. I remember Bible verses I learned in VBS. Those are specific things I remember. I also learned principles that have carried me through life.
- I learned church can be really
- I learned God is love and that in the church I was
- I learned God knew who I was and really does have a wonderful plan for my
- I learned God is concerned with forming character within
- I learned God wants me to know Him and follow Him
- I learned Jesus died for me and would have died for me if I was the only person who needed
Your child needs all the things I did. Please take advantage of VBS this summer – June 6-8 | 8:30am – 3:00pm. Make this a priority. You can register your children TODAY for those who have completed K-6th. Start early with your children, giving them opportunities to hear about God and His work.
Do you want to make this even better? Bring your children to a Connect Group and find one for yourself. (We can help with this). Giving your children these things now may prevent more serious times in the future.
