Thank You!

This week has been one for the record books.   Our office has been buzzing with volunteers, people coming into sign in their children, planning, phone calls, etc.

The church has been working hard as a team to make sure that next week is full of music, bible stories, and overall FUN for the people of our church and our surrounding community.

I just love the energy that comes with VBS.  Now to be honest...this energy comes with tons of planning and hard work. But to see a church transformed into a place that is loving and welcoming to all who walk in the doors next week is such a blessing.

I have so many different memories of VBS.  It began as a child when I would go to VBS each summer and just have so much fun a church.  I never understood why it was just one week long.   :-)  I now know that this one week takes TONS of planning and energy.  

I also remember one of the very first VBS's that I was a part of as the leadership team.  We began meeting in February to get ready for June.  June always seems so far away until BANG it just appears.Then as I stood in the large room full of adults, youth and children from the community singing and dancing about God's love and grace my heart and soul is full.  

I really cannot think of a better place to be this next week than Wesley Hall for our opening worship.   We have a live band, a show host, Bible stories, and most important the seats will be FULL of children.  It will never be still.  It will be full of love, energy and new memories for the families of our community.

I thank you for allowing us to provide this week for you.   It has been and will continue to be a blessing.

If you are not able to make it this year-  we ask for you prayers for all who are participating.   Prayers for energy, peace, love and safety as we open our doors to over 400 children, youth, and adults this next week.

May you find a way to Turn Up God's Story in your life as we do this week!!!
