Vacation Bible School Stories

My daughter, Sophia, who loves working with kids, did a great job leading songs and sign language at Vacation Bible School this summer. It was great seeing her flourish in serving kids.

Another story from VBS involves a kid misusing my teaching on his mother. He used the attention getter called "waterfall" on his mom during discipline. The kid's mom texted me, thanking me for the teaching and shared the funny story.

Thought of the Day: Would You Want to Go to Heaven if God Was Not There?

This Thought of the Day question is inspired by a song by Sha Linne called "My Portion." .

The question and the song challenge us to consider if heaven is desirable without God, emphasizing that salvation is about a personal relationship with God, not just a place. In Psalm 73, Asaph realizes that God is his portion and his strength, not the things of this world.

Questions to consider:

What are some practical ways to use attention-grabbing techniques in a kids ministry setting?

How can we encourage kids to apply biblical principles in their daily lives?

What are your thoughts on the idea that salvation is about a relationship with God, not just about going to heaven?
