Bee imitators of God
as beloved Children.
And walk in love,
as Christ loved us,
and gave himself up for us!

Ephesians 5:1-2.

Our Vacation Bible school allowed us to share God’s love with swarms of the beautiful bees (a.k.a. children) from our congregation and the community (a.k.a hive). This year our biz-zzy children were given lessons about Jesus every day and were encouraged to share what they learned. These bold bee-lievers accepted the challenges and blessed us with heart-warming stories about how they had shown love, care, and concern for others. Our little bees heard about Jesus, they understood the depth of His love, AND they told others! Our hive was alive with love.

We saw older children helping the younger children and we watched as strangers became friends. We saw the eyes of young children grow big as they heard of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for the very first time. The children played games, ate snacks, and joyfully memorized scripture set to music. They were as hungry for the Word as they were for Luann’s yummy treats! A visiting family tells us that their daughter is sleeping with the picture she got at VBS.

In addition to memories of a fun–filled week, there is undoubtedly joy, peace, and comfort in what that picture represents. The children left us with a fuller understanding of God’s love for them and their importance in His hive. That knowledge should bring us all peace & joy wherever we go…even if we have no picture to hold. Blessing and thanks to the entire congregation who so graciously supported this worthy ministry with their time, talents, treasures, and prayers.
