Well, by this time we know the sun is HOT, the ground is DRY and our bodies and minds are getting WEARY; but God has opened the Heavens and soaked VBS at FBC with Showers of Blessings. I am humbled at the sweet spirit that our faithful workers have had this week. I am thankful for the many who took vacation to be a part of this outreach ministry. I am also amazed at the good behavior of our children and how many have responded by giving to our mission offering and the possibility of salvation. It’s been a GREAT week of food, fellowship, bible study, crafts, music, missions and a lot of fun; but that’s what VBS is all about…....

Our totals are still climbing even with absentees and we have new enrollees everyday.
Here’s a recap of Wednesday, June 17, 2009.
Total Present: 113 68 Students 45 Workers
Offering $125.97 (G) $55.67 (B) $70.30
Total Collected $234.55

As you can see, we’re having a little competition between the girls and boys. For the last 3 days the girls have RULED but the boys finally PUSHED them back and claimed the lead. We are giving our offering to the GWA African Missions Project that our George/Greene Association has participated in the last few years. Mrs. Sue Eubanks has constructed an amazing replica of a GWA village. It’s on display in the Sanctuary, be sure and check it out.

Please continue to remind our students of Family Night on Friday, June 19th at 7:00p.m. We may run the van that night if we have students and families who need transportation and would like to come back for the service. I will give more details about this later regarding the time, etc. and if we are able to do this. Remember clean up will follow the fellowship and everyone is needed for this project. Cedar Grove Baptist Church has asked to have/borrow our Lifeway decorations and any others that we would like to share with them. We will pack away the rest and store upstairs.

I would ask that you complete the “VBS Feedback” sheet and return to me on Friday or before. I believe this will help with planning for next year. If you would like to be a return helper and work in the same area or if you need a change, indicate that on the sheet and sign your name.

VBS certificates will be given to the students on Friday along with other information regarding our church and the GWA Mission Project.

Continue to pray for the remaining days of VBS that souls will be saved and lives changed by the impact and impression that we made this week ….so
Let’s Stay on Track till Friday……

Serving Together,
Selina Smith
