The Bible is loaded with incredible miracles that leave many of us quietly wondering why God doesn't do those things today. But God is active in our everyday lives. We just have to learn how to look and see. At High Seas Expedition, our 2010 VBS, kids will search for the evidence of God in things like a sunset, a rainstorm, a laugh, a kind word, a fun surprise, and a tasty snack. These are called God Sightings. Even preschoolers can understand how to see them in their everyday lives. It will be incredible.
Join in the week of June 21.
