Vacation Bible School

You Can Be Part of Mystery Island VBS

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

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Vacation Bible School is right around the corner! The dates this year are June 27 - July 1, 6-8 pm, nightly. Notice, we are beginning VBS on a Sunday evening this year. VBS is open to children in Kindergarten - 5th Grade. There will be a nursery available for the children of VBS volunteers.

Our theme this year is Mystery Island, and our focus is seeking out the truth about the one, true, triune God of the Bible, as he has revealed himself to humanity! Each night, we will teach children about the character of God, leading up to his redemptive, unshakable love for his people. Every night will be filled with music, games, crafts, snacks, and bible lessons. But, to make this happen, we need YOU!

Whether you are a VBS veteran or a first-timer, we have a spot for you to serve. We need volunteers who are simply willing to love children and display the truth of Christ, and the light of the Gospel in word and deed. There are registration links below for both volunteers and children. Sign up to engage the next generation with the Gospel today! Volunteers, be on the lookout for emails and communication from us about VBS and training steps you may need to take to serve this year.

Whether you are able to physically serve or not, there are several things you can do to help make this VBS a success:

  • Pray for the children and families that will be impacted by VBS this summer. Pray that hearts would be softened to the Gospel, that people would come to saving faith, and that the one, true God would be lifted high!

  • Invite friends, family, and neighbors to come and be a part of VBS this summer. VBS is a great opportunity for children to hear the Gospel; maybe for the first time!

  • Give faithfully to your church so that we can fund missional, gospel-centered events to engage our community.

Grace to you,

Cole Barnes, Worship and Families
