We've been pretty slack this year for VBS this year as though we are so passionate and always excited about VBS, we thought we would give everyone time and space to volunteer and serve in other ministries in our Church or spend more time on Bible reading/study and just enjoying time with our Lord ....... all in prep for VBS 2011.
So now we are in September and with less than three(3) months to go, time to pick up speed with our reserved energies and accelerate to the Big Apple Adventure VBS !
It was a good response from many for you especially returning volunteers in our Recruitment Month of July. VBS 2011 Committee didn't really drive the recruitment and so it is to be expected that there are still a number of vacant positions yet to be filled.
As you run through the List that will be uploaded on this Blog soon, please pray daily that the vacant positions will be quickly filled. As we go nearer to VBS, I am sure more people are able to commit their time to serve.
Meantime, a gentle reminder that for a fruitful VBS, we need to be God-centered, Bible driven and Spirit-filled. So please do start the VBS Bible Devotions for the 5 days. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is for every VBS helper. The Bible Devotions for all 5 days must be done by ALL (not only those who are teaching Bible Study; not only adult helpers but includes youth helpers as well).
Before we can impact the kids at VBS, we must seek the Lord's Word on this and allow Him to impact us so that we may be fruitful in our sharing with the kids.
So let's spend time on His Word and meditate on His teachings together.
Make the Connection!
Day 1 : Connect with Faith !
The Centurion Acts in Faith (Matthew 8:5-13)
The centurion had faith in Jesus' divine authority to heal.
Day 2 : Connect with Love !
A Woman responds with Love (Luke 7:36-38,44-48)
A woman responded to Jesus with an extravagant expression of love.
Day 3 : Connect with Trust !
Nicodemus Chooses to Trust (John3:1-18; 19:38-42)
Nicodemus was challenged to trust Jesus as his Saviour and Lord.
Day 4 : Connect with Others !
The Samaritan Woman Tells Others
(John 4:1-30; 39-42)
The Samaritan woman was quick to go and tell others about her encounter with Jesus.
Day 5 : Connect with Life !
The Disciples Receive Instruction (Acts 1:1-11)
The disciples were challenged by Jesus to live their lives as His witnesses.
May the Lord bless us and our families as we serve Him, grant us protection against the evil one and show us His favour and grace ........
In His Love,
Poh Gek
VBS 2011 Principal
