… A greater service!

Verse: 

But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.   Mark 10:14

Vacation Bible School is always an exciting time for our church.  I have served at VBS for many years and always looked forward to it.  There is always amazement as the church comes together decorated to each year’s theme and watching the children come with joy.      

This year was very different for me at VBS.  I am so thankful for all who helped to make it happen; the directors, the registration crew, the worship team, the station leaders, the group leaders, the youth group serving, and all those behind the scenes that pulled together to make it happen.  We had 130+ (I think 137) children come and sign their name to a wooden cross, taking the step of faith to Jesus. 

A new thought came to mind this year about VBS, it is more than just getting a children’s program together it is bringing the children to Jesus.

Prayer:

Dear Lord Heavenly Father, I thank you for all who came to help be a part of bringing the children to You.  I pray, You bless them and encourage them for their service to You.  Thank you for the little children.  I pray for each child who signed the cross, that they would hold it dear in their hearts, that they would grow in relationship with You, and continue to seek You with zeal and excitement even now the week is over.  In Jesus Name, Amen.
