Last week I mentioned our Vacation Bible School and the theme for the week that was ahead; Called Together to Serve God.
Each night at the Hero Hotline we learned a Hotline Tip.
Heroes are called to:
Follow Jesus
Help Others
Work Together
Listen to God
Show Grace
We finished up with the children on Friday evening.
What amazes me is that we lived out those tips as the week went on...sometimes even before we "learned" them.
Everyone "worked together" at every part!
Signing up to fill the different roles needed;
making the whole church look like Hero Hotline Headquarters and Bible Land,
helping others when asked, to play parts in skits, (no matter how silly!), to bring things, to share decorations. Even the children, helped each other; we had one young student with a cast on their leg and the other students were helping her out each night!
📖 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
When things weren't working right there was grace shown as people needed to be patient or readjust.
📖 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
We had many " glitches" through out, but we continued without complaint!
I shouldn't have said "it amazes me", because those are the people we have helping, it warms my soul!
It is a beautiful thing to me each year to see how much we can accomplish when we listen to God and we follow Jesus.
🙏Lord, I pray that we each seek to serve in any way You call us to in love and in kindness as You have instructed and demonstrated. Amen❤️
📖 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Romans 14:19
