Yes, it's time for Vacation Bible School already. This year's VBS runs from July 12th-15th. Our theme this year is Soul Survivors on Danger Island. The theme verse is Romans 8:37, "...We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." The main objective is to get the children to recognize spiritual dangers and realize that we can overcome, conquer, them with God's help. Our adventure on Danger Island will begin with a shipwreck, then carry us deep into a bat infested cave and finally climax at the base of an active Volcano! Sounds like it will be great fun, and I think the children will enjoy it too :)
This past Saturday our church canvassed the area handing out Vacation Bible School pamphlets and Gospel Tracts. It was a good time for making some more initial contacts in the are for me, the new pastor, and a great opportunity to reach out to the community and let them know that Calais Church is interested in them and their families. Please pray that many children will come to Vacation Bible School this year, that there would be souls saved as a result and that perhaps many families may be added to the church.
We already have a family who has asked that the church van begin picking up their children this Sunday for Sunday school and church each week! Though we are without a van at the moment, I told them that the pastor and his wife would be more than happy to come pick them up. The Lord has already begun to do a work. What an opportunity to minister and witness to this family!
