Hello Everyone,

 

We are making some good progress towards getting God's people in place to carry out the VBS ministry.  Thanks to those who responded already this morning.  For those of you who did not respond yet I have some more information. 

 

The success of our VBS program depends on numbers of volunteers.  My hope is to have a lot of people as opposed to not having enough.  Having plenty of people means that everyone will have some responsibility and no one will be over-burdened.  Having many people serving will mean that everyone can operate in their areas of talent, ability, and gifting.  We can make this happen and do it well!  To quote a famous pastor, "I have a dream!"  My dream is for a loving and caring congregation to come together to produce a memorable, exciting, and fun vacation Bible School program.  Plenty of workers make for light work.  Please beware of using the phrase "I don't feel led" as an excuse for not helping.  The only qualifications required to help with VBS are breathing (sucking air in and out of your lungs) and a willingness to help.  Since everyone reading this is breathing, then the remaining qualification is willingness.

 

That said, I have another piece to add to this just for men.  We need more men to help with VBS!  VBS ministries are usually done by women in most churches.  Say it ain't so!  It is time for men to step up to the plate and be that man!  Yeah, we're all tired after working all day and we're all busy, but VBS is important enough to get a little more tired and a little more busy.  In 9 weeks VBS will be history.  That ain't that long...I mean Guys...come on....you can do this and you will be blessed for it.  God is our father; come be an example of Him to our children in VBS.

 

Be a part of something bigger than yourself.  VBS impacts people's lives for years to come.  Now is the time of opportunity...God has a plan and he wants you to be a part of it.  Call me today!  (864)225-4301
