Amazing VBS

What an amazing week!  Nearly a thousand children and 2oo incredible volunteers transformed Grace Church into a south Louisiana swamp wonderland.  Clyde, our VBS mascot, was a huge hit (all 25ft of him).  Lady Katie and the Bayou Roux rocked the praise and worship, Moses and Pharoah captured the imagination of each boy and girl.  Chadder and Fraider kept the kids on the edge of their seats, while games kept them entertained.  They were refreshed by the great team working in the snack area and wrapped up their experience each day in a finale session.

The week demonstrated to me the power of focused children's ministry.  There's so many great things that happened that it's impossible to capture all of them here.  Like all endeavors worthy of effort, VBS requires extensive planning and preparation to accompany the vision.  Great job Brenda and the senior leaders, Tameka, Wendy and Veronica.  You built your team's, trained them, prepared and motivated them.  Your passion for doing great children's ministry was clearly evident.

I pray that more people would slow down for a moment and consider the next generation.  What are we doing to equip, empower and release them to make a difference in their world for Jesus Christ?

Be Blessed
