We were privileged to host the preschool and kindergarten children for Vacation Bible School this year. Through games, crafts, music, and even themed snacks, the children learned about five promises that God makes to us:

  Daily Promise Bible story Scripture reference
Monday God Loves You Story of Ruth and Naomi Ruth 1
Tuesday God Knows You David Becomes a King 1 Samuel 16
Wednesday God Treasures You Jesus the Good Shepherd John 10
Thursday God Forgives You Story of the Prodigal Son Luke 15
Friday God is With You Jesus Appears to Disciples John 20

Each day, the children participated in archeological "digs" in the sand to uncover reminders about these five promises (hearts, magnifying glasses, jewels, crosses, and compasses).

Thanks to Debbie Hennings, our Director of Christian Education, and countless volunteers, both from First UMC and from other churches, for hosting such an enriching event and for their hours of dedication to our children.
