We were swamped…..with fun!
We saw God two weeks ago as over 260 children and 160 volunteers came together for Vacation Bible School. God sightings were all around us as our hallways filled with laughter, music, and growing friendships.
We saw His love in gentle words, His beautiful creation, a shared popsicle, and a bracelet given to a friend. We are blessed by the faithfulness, strength, and patience of His willing servants.
We felt His presence during the Swamp Stomp, our daily time of music and worship. Kids and grownups filled the dock with tealights representing their God sightings daily.
Our VBS missionaries worked really hard for Jesus during VBS week! Check out the list of what we did for our local community, for children across our county, and for children around the world, all for the glory of God!
- We wrapped around 1,600 spoons and forks for the Lost Sheep Ministry
- We made 255 salvation bracelets for kids in Nicaragua
- We scooped 4,658 loads of laundry detergent for the Fountain City Ministry Center
- We collected over 800 children’s books to be donated to a women and children’s shelter in Shreveport, Louisiana
Our fifth grade group volunteered at Lost Sheep Ministries, putting together over 500 toiletry kits. They also spent two hours sorting canned food at Second Harvest Food Bank. This class of 23 learned the process of working with stained glass, and together have created a one of a kind piece of art that will be displayed in our church, a reminder of their time together and the love of God that brings and bonds us together.
We will keep watching for God! He is with us always!
