Praise the Lord for his great love and faithfulness. “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him” (1 John 5:16). We had a great week at our SonTreasure Island VBS experiencing and sharing in the love of God. It was a beautiful gathering of the body of Christ. What a joy it was to enter into a house full of children playing, parents talking, saints rejoicing, and disciples serving. We were all hosted around tables of fellowship and with welcoming arms of love. One could just feel the presence of the Holy Spirit filling us with his peace and his grace.

     After a time of food and fellowship, we were all welcomed into a time of joy-filled praise to our God of love. We were reminded that God’s love is giving, kind, and caring. The students were lead in crafts, games, and bible study by our wonderful servants. The children were loved on and cared for by God’s people. Our VBS provided a time for many, many people to join together and serve. The church was edified by the use of many gifts and the kingdom was advanced. The name of Jesus was proclaimed. The love of Christ was shining brightly into the hearts of all who were present. To God be the glory.

     Thank you to all the many, many people who served to make our VBS a great success. Thank you for those who were group leaders, teachers, craft leaders, and game leaders. Thank you for those, who provided, cooked, and served the meals. Thank you for those, who hosted, welcomed, and visited with our visiting parents and children. Thank you for all the prayers.

     Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and your presence with us. Thank you for the opportunity to join you in the work you are doing in the life of our church, our community, and our families. Thank you Lord for using your people to be your hands and feet, and for being your mouthpiece and your ears. Thank you for your great love. Lord continue to grow your kingdom here in this place.
