Hard to believe it, but our Vacation Bible School starts this coming Monday. It's about decoding the past, creation, God's creation, understanding that we (humans) do not come from apes, or monkeys, or lemurs, or fish. We are created in God's image. We are God's crowning achievement in creation. We are the object of God's love and affection, and the reason why he sent Jesus Christ to redeem us, to save us, or as the great quote goes, "Jesus was everything and became nothing, so that we who are nothing could become everything we were created for!"
But I do not want to write about what we're going to learn this week. If you want to learn more come join us at LifePointe. Just follow the links on this blog. What I want to talk about how truly wonderful the church (in a larger since) can be.
This VBS which starts Monday, came in a pack that tells the Director (me) that we need to start 6 months out to pull off this event. We at LifePointe started working on this VBS 5 weeks ago, but truly with God all thing are possible! What I am impressed by is the dedication of the church members. I won't mention specific names because I know they would rather have it that way. But the truth is, what I have seen is truly the church in action.
In the early church, those who had gave for the betterment of the church. Those who could, would, for the betterment of the church. Those who knew, shared for the betterment of the church. Seeing church member dedicate time, resources, and make sacrifices for the church...that is what it is all about.
Jesus served: He fed people, He healed, He washed feet, He bore burdens. He modeled church for us. He modeled community for us. It is a beautiful thing, and I am blessed to be a part of this ministry.
