Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:13-14
This Sunday night, June 27, Mystery Island Vacation Bible School begins at 6:00 PM! The theme of the week is “Tracking down the one true God”. Each evening kids will explore an exciting and mysterious tropical paradise while learning about the attributes of the Lord:
Sunday: God is GREAT! As we stop in Acts 17 and find a city full of idols, we’ll hunt for clues about our great God and discover we must have the right view of him. We can’t make up a god of our own choosing.
Monday: God is ALMIGHTY! Our mighty God knows everything, is everywhere, and has the power to do anything. As we study the account of Jonah, we’ll oooohhh and aaahhh as we focus on the three big Os of God – his omniscience, his omnipotence, and his omnipresence.
Tuesday: God is RULER! We’ll check in with Isaiah and realize God Is not like us. Our minds will be blown away by his vastness, beauty, and holiness.
Wednesday: God is EMMANUEL! God is high and mighty, Lord of all creation. And yet he also came to earth and desires a relationship with the people he has made. He is good and he loves us.
Thursday: God is TRUSTWORTHY! With the account of David, we’ll learn that God is great, God is good, and God is perfect in all things, so we can trust him with our lives. He is our rock. [1]
Ways you can be part of Mystery Island VBS:
Bring Your Own Kids: No child is too young to learn about God and hear they need to receive Christ as Lord and Savior. Combined with the example of godly parents, family worship, and active church involvement, VBS can be a useful evangelism approach for parents and grandparents. Have you registered your kids yet? What are you waiting on? Do so today: Child Registration
Invite Others: Do you know kids who are between the ages of kindergarten and 5th Grade? Do you know neighbors, co-workers, friends who have kids? Invite them to join us. Online registration is open through Crestview’s Facebook and website.
Serve: It is not too late to help! Among other needs, we are looking for hospitality volunteers nightly to help with campus supervision. It’s going to be great fun serving together and strengthening the bonds of community between us. Email: cole@crestviewbaptist.org
Give: Your consistent financial support to the Crestview Ministry Budget is an important way you help make this week of ministry possible: Give Online Now.
Pray: Please pray daily for kids, their families, and for volunteers. Ask the Spirit of God to use VBS to glorify His Name and reveal to kids (and adults!) their need to know the Lord and trust in Christ. Pray for lasting, eternal fruit.
For His Glory,
Pastor Thomas
