VBS – Wave 3

Hello Families!

Ps 86:11 "Teach me Your ways, oh Lord, andI will live by Your Truth."

We have had quite an adventure on Outriggers Island today as as our “tacky tourists” filed in wearing there awesome creative outfits! I’m sure you all had fun coming up with clever things to wear; it was a great joy to see!

Photos will be available to view on Flickr soon… but you have to be invited to see them, to protect the identity of our children attending! So – contact us here or email: LSBCKids@gmail.com and Heather Wolcott will send you an invite to view the private photos that you can download and print for your personal albums as well! Although we do have some public photo’s you can see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lsbc/.

During Wave 3 (Day 3) our life truth was Jesus in the Only Way. Our Bible reading was found in Mark 15:21-17:7. Today our focus was on Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

• Jesus had done nothing wrong, but was arrested and sentenced to die on a cross.
• When Jesus died the Roman centurion claimed that He really was the Son of God.
• Jesus’ body was placed in a tomb and a heavy stone was rolled over the entrance.
• Three days later, a man in a long white robe  told some women who visited the tomb that Jesus was alive. Jesus wasn’t in the tomb. The man told them they would see Jesus in Galilee as He had told them.
• The women went to tell the disciples the good news.

TRUTH: Jesus is the Only Way!

The ABC’s of becoming a Christian were discussed today
and was revisited during worship in song form.

Becoming a Christian is the most important decision anyone can ever make. What does the Bible say about becoming a Christian?

 

God loves you.
“This is love: Not that we loved God, but that he loved us.” 1 John 4:10

 

Sin separates you from God.
Sin is not doing what God wants you to do. You sin when you disobey God. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

 

God sent Jesus so you would not have to die for your sin. Jesus died on the cross, He was buried and He rose from the dead. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

A – ADMIT
Admit to God that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23). Repent, turning away from your sin (Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9)

 

B – BELIEVE
Believe that Jesus is God’s Son and accept God’s gift of forgiveness from sin (Romans 5:8; Acts 4:12; John 3:16; John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:11-13).

 

C – CONFESS
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9-10, 13).

 

Is it time for you to become a Christian?
God’s Holy Spirit will help you know if you are ready to become a Christian. If it is not time for you to become a Christian, remember this for later. If it is time for you to become a Christian, tell your mom, dad, or a trusted adult that can help.

 

Rachel Rollins & Harmony Reichert attended Centri-Kid camp this summer and both accepted Christ that week, and as a result were asked to come forward. Harmony even gave her testimony of how she came to know Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. We hope to include a video recording to share Harmony’s testimony on our blog soon. Please, encourage your children as they have been working hard on their songs at Worship Falls.

Today and tomorrow at crafts the children have been making their t-shirts. On Sunday at both services, August 10th, we have been invited to perform the songs sung and would like the children to wear these shirts for our performance! We look forward to seeing everyone there.

Music has been going very well and we hope that you would encourage your child to continue with the songs. They really are fun for all ages. CDs will be available for purchase at the church for $3 starting Thursday. Song and dance are wonderful ways to worship and show praise to our God and the children are really having a great time!

Thank you all for your dedication in bringing them and for giving us the opportunity and privilege of working with and spending our time with them all.

God Bless you all
