35 hours and counting... This year's Croc Dock is going to truly be amazing. What a great opportunity we've been given to share the heart of Christ with those He calls the "greatest in the kingdom of heaven." This year's theme, "a place where fearless kids let God's light shine," is a reminder to me of the awesome responsibility we have to train up the children of Grace in the ways of the Lord. It's often easy to gauge our success or failure with data. In the children's ministry world that data is often related to budget or attendance or even the number of volunteers in the ministry. But, I wonder if that's how God measures success.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 states "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the ways he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Lord, it's my prayer that this year's VBS would truly reflect these core scriptures. Let our success be measured by our efforts to lead children to you. Please bless all those who are giving so much to ensure every opportunity is made for children to grow closer to you. Amen.
Be Blessed!
