Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Created to Serve

We are ALL created by God, for God, and for relationship with each other. Today at VBS the kids heard the creation story and learned that ALL of us are important and have a part to play in God's world; ALL of us can serve. It doesn't matter how old you are, how big (or small) you are, how much you know or where you've been: God can use YOU to make a difference in the world. Not a bad thing to start learning at age 3. Or age 93, for that matter.
VBS continues to be a huge success, thanks to so many fabulous volunteers giving so freely of their time, energy and faith. This week simply wouldn't work without them!
Here's the VBS Daily Update for today. We're hoping to get pictures of each age group taken before the week is out. In today's edition: the 5th & 6th grade group.
Love to Serve!
