Paint and glitter scatters the floor. Paper, markers, glue and snippets of tape are trampled under shoes. Messes abound and in it we joyfully create what will become a place where many children will hear the gospel message through the course of five days.
Each year we dread it; each year we rejoice in it. For we know. We know that children from all walks of life will be immersed for a little while into a place where love envelopes them, Standing for a little while in a place that little shoes may trample, sing, create and explore. Meanwhile dedicated grown children will talk to them of a God whose love is boundless. They will hear of a God that is Holy, beyond that they will ever understand. A God merciful and compassionate that cares enough to bring them back to Himself at a very great cost. This is what will go on in a little church, in a small city at the edge of the bay. Lord, may this Vacation Bible School be filled with your Spirit and Glorify your name.
Your Holy Name.~~~
