VBS 2020

8/5/2020

 
Our younger children and their families had the unique opportunity to take a journey last week, and they didn’t even have to leave their back yards! Eight families embarked on a VBS Backyard Adventure, following the Apostle Paul on his Second Missionary Journey throughout the Mediterranean lands. They heard the same stories that we have been hearing in worship, about the amazing lives of discipleship ignited by Paul in Silas, Timothy, Lydia, and Priscilla and Aquila. Through these stories, the families learned about important characteristics of a disciple- we called those Superpowers- and learned that they, too, were disciples! The stories, which were read masterfully by Mark Roberts, were deepened and extended with family activities and games, conversation starters, snacks, chosen by Nikki Ness, and science experiments, demonstrated by Margaret Jenkins (“Professor J”.) The pictures I received show me that families really enjoyed themselves, and I continue to pray for them, that God’s word continues to flourish in their hearts! Like many other unexpected (and even unwanted) opportunities given us by Covid-19, this week was a priceless chance for parents and grandparents to live out their role, defined in the Bible and emphasized by Martin Luther, as the primary faith formers in their children’s lives. That makes them Superheroes in my eyes!
