What are we up to?
VBS. That’s it. Ok, not really. We are still getting ready for Sunday School and Worship and camp and mission trip and summer fun things.
But really…we all know. VBS is upon us and that takes up most of our energy and time.
I’m grateful to be at a church that still loves VBS and wants to serve our youngest folks well. It is such a fun week that lets all of us focus on God and learn more about our faith.
It is also a long week that requires a lot of time, energy and resources. So, I want to say thank you to all the parents and extra adults and youth that are giving so generously of your summer to make next week happen. You are amazing and the Kingdom of God is made clearer because of you!
I also ask that we all join to pray for everyone participating next week. Pray that our students will get to know their Creator better. Pray that our volunteers get good rest and are filled with the joy and patience of the Holy Spirit. Pray for the parents that will listen to their kids recap the day and maybe get to know their Creator better, too. Pray for the Northway staff that are stepping in to add more to their weekly tasks so that VBS goes smoothly.
These are the kind of weeks that make a lifetime of memories, and not only for the kids. I’m so grateful I get to do this work with you.
See you in church,
Pastor Chesna
