Attention – Salute – Pledge

by Derenda Dickey
 
Do those three words stir memories in you? I hope the memory is of Vacation Bible School. VBS is quickly approaching and will take place on June 9-12. Our church will be buzzing with over 100 children and a multitude of adult and youth workers.
 
I’m praying memories are created in the children that attend which will last a lifetime and perhaps into eternity. Some will be in a church building for the very first time. Some will attend to give their parents a short summer break. Some will come just to hang out with their friends. No matter the reason, God can use the opportunity.
 
Doing crafts, singing, learning about missions, learning Bible stories, gym time, and of course snacks are all part of each day. The days go quickly as the classes move from activity to activity. I was amazed last year at how fast each day passed and the joy I felt watching the children be excited about God. 
 
How can you help?
  1.  Pray. Pray for children to meet Jesus and begin a personal walk with Him. 
  2.  Volunteer: all of the prior mentioned activities have helpers plus the family leaders.
  3.  Give: your time, your talents, your love, food for snacks, craft supplies.
 
Ask Kellee and she will help you rekindle the fire of your little light at VBS.
 
Let it shine!
