Where Jesus Walked to the Cross

Dear Worshippers,

VBS week is upon us. We are taking a Holy Land Adventure to the Jerusalem Marketplace. We are walking in Jesus steps as we expose the kids to different aspects of Jewish life at the time of Christ. There will be children who decide to follow Jesus this week and you can play a role in that.

The last few weeks we have been considering the Core Values of the Alliance. We have been reminded that Holy Spirit empowerment is essential for us to accomplish anything. We have also been encouraged to engage in our primary work, prayer. So I want to encourage you to live out those realities in a very purposeful way.

In the opening night of VBS last night we shared Jesus with over 130 children. We need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to so this. Each teacher need that power, from song leaders to Bible teachers, games directors and craft coordinators, we want to introduce children to Christ, without the Holy Spirit we cannot do it. Here is where you come in.

Prayer. Please pray for every teacher and helper. From the registration desk to the final prayer, may each encounter show the love of the Savior. Pray for those who are serving Christ at VBS this week.

Please pray for the kids who are coming, and their families. Many of our church kids are there. Pray they will learn more of the Savior and be enabled to live in Him. Some other church kids are there as well. Pray that we would serve and love those kids and their families.Some unchurched kids are there as well. Pray that they would meet Jesus; not only them but their families as we serve and love them as well.

VBS is local missions. Pray that we would declare Christ well this week. Pray that we would disciple children in the faith. Pray that we will teach them to obey all Christ has commanded us. Pray that we will “Live the Call Together” and in so doing, do so.

In Christ,

Pastor Scott
