VBS and Teen Challenge

The fun is coming to Grace! Two weeks from now, we will be in the middle of a great outreach to the children and families of our community. Carolyn Sproul is heading up this years VBS which is titled, God’s Big Backyard. We have several pressing needs:

1. We need all of us to be praying! Pray for the salvation of many children and teens. Pray for families to be open to talking about the gospel. Pray for the fruit of the Spirit to permeate everything we do.
2. We need some help getting last minute supplies. Most of these items many of us have at home. In the back of the church is a clothes-line with our last minute needs. There are nifty pieces of paper (with pictures of shirts and pants on them!) that have our needs on the back. Please pick one up, bring in the materials throughout the week, and help us reach out to many!
3. We are also collecting materials for a service project to the local homeless shelter. We are collecting what they need but of don’t often get. This includes pre-made drink mixes like tea, lemonade, Kool-aid, butter, and powdered milk. It also includes some cleaning items like spic and span, bleach, dish detergent, and believe it or not, plastic grocery bags! There is a bin at the back of the church that says VBS service project to place these materials. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
4. I am sure there will be more! Stay posted as we get nearer the date!
