Musings with the Pastor. At the time of this writing, we are having an excellent session with our Vacation Bible School. There are anointed facilitators who are unveiling the Word of truth. A big “God Bless You” to them for the outstanding job they are doing. We all know that the “operative” word in Vacation Bible School is “Bible”. Each lesson in this year’s VBS is centered on love. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
What’s LOVE got to do with it? E V E R Y T H I N G! Excellent study.
Thanks facilitators, you are indeed a blessing to us all. What a remarkable job Sister Lynne Bryant does in bringing VBS together with it’s many facets. Her administrative skills are superb. Thank you Sister Bryant.
To Deacon Alvin Smith and Sister Marita Smith (related in the Lord) who, with helpers, and a Herculean effort, provided great food every night, “May the Lord bless you really good”.
On today, we celebrate “Family and Friends Day”. We thank Almighty God for both family and friends. We know that the family is the basic unit of our society. Whatever we find in our society comes emanates from the family. Hence the need to strengthen and empower the family members, for the Holy Writ tells us: “But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). And a word about friends, “A friend loveth all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:17).
Let’s celebrate family and friends.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
