Well, butter my biscuits! A spirited posse galloped into Wonder Junction this morning, ready for a rip-roarin’ third day of Vacation Bible School!
During today’s High Point Bible Time, the children learned about the Wonder of His Ministry Years. We talked about his wonder-working power over nature, sickness and disease, sin, and even death! Later, those lessons were reinforced during recreation, science and crafts, and even during snack time! You can find more info to talk about with your children at https://www.answersvbs.com/wonderkids
They met our animal pal for today – Mighty, the bison, who reminds us that Jesus is Almighty God with power over sickness, sin, and even death! What a wonder that the one who can walk on water cares about you!
In Missions, they met Luis from Dominican Republic who suffers from generational poverty. Luis and his bother come from a family of sugar plantation workers and that’s all the people in his community knows how to do. Luis wants more for his life, but if his situation doesn’t change, when he grows up and has his own family, they will live in poverty too. Children are encouraged to pray for Luis and families like his who are struggling to break out of the poverty that they were born into. Pray for the pastors and church volunteers who are sharing the hope of the gospel with families in need.
The offering that is taken up this week at VBS will benefit the Children’s Hunger Fund and help to feed and deliver the Gospel to children like Luis. Every quarter provides one meal for a child in need. Today, the boys contributed $24.83 and the girls contributed $23.75, bringing us to a total of $132.83 for the week! That is 531 meals for hungry children!
Today’s memory verse was: “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” John 21:25
Today was Old West Dress Up Day! It was so much fun to see all the children dressed up in their Old West Best to celebrate the wonders of Jesus!
We can’t wait for everyone to come back tomorrow to learn about the Wonder of His Death and Ressurection.
Reminders:
🌵 Everyone received a packet of bible verses. The child in each class who says the most verses will get the chance to pie the VBS volunteer of their choice at the end of the week! This is great incentive to hide God’s word within our hearts and have fun doing it!
🌵 Family Night is Friday Evening! We hope everyone will come out so your kiddos can show you all they’ve learned this week!
