Tonight we finished our VBS. All in all it was an absolutely wonderful week. We averaged 61 children and 45 workers. 3-4 Children accepted Jesus. We had a great opportunity to invite unchurched or marginal (whatever that really means) people to our church. The workers worked so hard, and the children had one of the best VBS they have ever had (I feel confident saying that).
We collected money each night this week to go towards providing scholarships to community children to attend our new AWANA program and we collected 607 dollars (FANTASTIC). I could not be happier with the way God moved, our people responded, and the children and adults alike were ministered to. Pray that there will be continued fruit from this week in the weeks, months, and years to come. I’ve said this a dozen times already, now all the work really begins.

It sounds like you all had a wonderful week. Praise the Lord! VBS is done at Cottage Grove too. I have three children that have indicated that they want to accept Christ. I have made arrangements to talk with their parents.

Great! For our respective environments it couldn’t have gone any better. Glad your week went well.
