Blog, Youth

Vacation Bible School 2019 “The Wise Man built his house upon the Rock, the rains came tumbling down, and the house on the rock stood firm!” The words of this VBS song rang through the auditorium as over 50 kids sang the words and moved their hands in the actions of this song, based on one of Jesus’ teachings. The theme of “Building a better life with Jesus’ at this year’s Vacation Bible School was reinforced by the LEGO themed decorations and crafts projects the children participated in during the event.

Happy Father’s Day

Blog

On the third Sunday of June, it is an American tradition to honor our fathers by setting aside the day to offer special thanks for everything they are, do, and give for us. The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. Within a few years, it became a national tradition to celebrate Father’s Day. However, it was not until 1972 that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. We are so thankful for our fathers, who sacrifice daily to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual guidance and support to their families. Even more, we are all blessed when fathers look for guidance to the greatest example of fatherhood which is found in God himself, who has described his relationship to us as “our Heavenly Father”. Jesus, his uniquely begotten son, reveals the Father to us…ay to offer special thanks for everything they are, do, and give for us.
