VBS ended with a flourish last night. The kids were taught that God loves them and that we should love each other. The final message was to tell others about Him.
As the last few minutes of the VBS ticked by the tents were taken down. Although the VBS was held in a building it seemed appropriate that the activities were all in temporary structures: tents. I think there is an important lesson there. Church is not a stationary building but a mobile force. We gather to worship, to learn, to enjoy each other and our God but all for a purpose to take it to the world.
As the final songs were song, the parents who had come to pick up the kids were invited into the sanctuary and many joined with the kids as they sang and danced in circles. There were more than 100 kids registered during the week, but those kids have friends and family. According to God’s plan for spreading His word and His love, many more than 100 will be impacted.
When you go to church tomorrow, be observant for things that you can take with you and share with others. It’s the way things should be. Sunday mornings should be a blessing, like the VBS was and we are blessed to be a blessing.
Be blessed.
