This NEW idea of having all 3 churches do 1 BIG Vacation Bible School has been in the works since December 2015. We have had a couple of meetings with the 3 pastors and the respective VBS director from each church. We are now ready to get all the TEAMS together (Craft, Storytelling, Science, and Games) and brainstorm ideas.
The Heritage Park in downtown Hanover has graciously agreed to host this event. We are hoping that this location will be easier for the children to get to, as the 3 churches are on the outskirts of town.
Our first meeting with the ENTIRE staff on April 12, 2016 went wonderfully. Over 25 people were present from all 3 churches. The specific tasks were assigned and we are moving forward to our next meeting on June 6, 2016.
In 2015 three churches on Moscow Road in Horton Michigan embarked on a NEW THING. Honoring what scripture states in Ephesians 4:3 "Make every effort to KEEP the UNITY". At first it was unclear what form this would actually take, but as the months progressed, UNITY in our commUNITY blossomed. This blog is a record of those events, and a place where upcoming events are posted. Please be encouraged by a community that chooses to serve God Almighty together as one body of believers, and join us!
Right now I am so excited to see all 3 of the churches working together to help lead our next generation this summer! GOD is doing AMAZING THINGS!
ReplyDeleteVBS holds a special place in my heart because it is how I came to accept Jesus as my Lord. It is awesome to see the churches in the community working together to put on this year's VBS.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the opportunity this will present to our community as a whole. Bringing our local churches together is wonderful! Plus we hope to reach more children and families by combining our efforts!
ReplyDeleteIt was heartwarming to see the three churches working together at the Vacation Bible School meetings. It is a great opportunity to bring VBS to children who may never had the opportunity to attend before.
