emember in the last Spire – when I wrote about “Why do we “do” VBS?” And
how VBS is sometimes the only time some children hear/receive the Word of
God? And how we can’t do VBS without YOU our volunteers?
To YOU I tip my hat in thankfulness and respect. So many did so much. Thank
you all for your hard work and dedication you gave making Vacation Bible School
at NPC a success. Whether you gave an offering to the church budget, worked
to help plan VBS, your time to volunteer (including our many youth that came and
helped with smiles on their faces and Jesus in their hearts), your time to pray each
day for the children, or your time to continue the outreach of the children and
families that were impacted through Maker Fun Factory VBS 2017, I want to Thank
You! VBS reaches so many children and families each summer and through you we
can continue that reach throughout the whole year. It is good to see our church
spreading the Gospel in such a caring, loving and effective way.
To give others the idea of the importance of volunteering: We had approximately
75-80 volunteers DURING THE WEEK of VBS, 10-15 volunteers PRIOR to VBS,
not to mention the help we received from the Youth Staff, Office Staff, Interns and
Properties. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. THANK
YOU. Now I am going to ask one last favor….let others know about your pos-
itive experience and the joy you receive in sharing the Gospel with our kids and
perhaps, through your testimony, God will put it on their hearts to join us in our
journey of building the foundation of Christ in our youngest Christians!
