Scripture: Luke 10:30-37
Weaving Faith Into Life:  The fruit of patience is grown best when we stop suddenly to help someone when we are busy. 

Are you being a FaithWeaver this week?
  Try this fun faith-growing activity with your child: Help your child with patience through reciting this prayer daily:

God, thank you for giving us your Holy Spirit who works in
us so we can be more patient. Help us to slow down and
help people who need help around us. We know we can't
do it on our own. We do not have the power. We need your
help to be patient. Help us to remember to do the things
we have committed to do this week. In Jesus' name,
Amen.

VBS Mission 

Our mission and purpose for this week at Vacation Bible School is to grow in our walk with our Lord Jesus and impact lives in our community and world!  Each night during the excitement of learning and growing, you will notice a Red Kettle as you enter into the Worship Center.  This familiar kettle represents The Salvation Army and the work they are doing to impact lives. Please consider assisting our mission by committing to the following requests of The Salvation Army: 

  • Prayer
  • Monetary Offering
  • Canned Goods (fruit, vegetables, etc),
  • Toilet Paper
  • Paper Towels

Please drop monetary gifts in the Red Kettle and place donations in the wheel barrows located near the large pillars in the Atrium.  Thank you for your support this week! 

 

Special Thank You!
We would like to say a sincere thank you to all the children who are joining us for Vacation Bible School!  It is our hope you will grow in your faith and understanding of the love of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Also, thank you to the many volunteers working so hard to make this week memorable and exciting for our children!  May God bless each of you!
