VBS: A Heart for Missions
Meadowbrook is holding a special VBS this week. Our kids are experiencing "A Heart for Missions" VBS.
Each day we study a new way that God uses people in His Kingdom and then we give the kids a chance to participate in that method of glorifying God. On Monday, we learned about the Good Samaritan and our craft for the day were aprons that go on the front of walkers. We decorated the aprons and made cards for some of the folks at a nearby nursing home. After the VBS day, we had a big group of kids and parents caravan over to the nursing home and deliver the aprons, the cards, and lots of smiles.
On Tuesday, we learned about Jesus feeding the 5,000. Our craft time consisted of the kids assembling sack lunches, assembly line style, which we then took down town and shared a meal with the kids at Stewpot's Neighborhood Children's Ministry.
Today, we learned about how Naaman had to trust God, even in something small, and then God healed him. We practiced our faith by making pillows and blankets and delivering them to a local children's hospital where children are seeking healing.
It's been a great adventure of learning about God, playing, singing, and loving, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week! It's great to see my own children learning what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

That has to be one of the best VBS experiences I have heard about. What wonderful hands-on missions and caring for children to learn. That will be a great blessing for the children's hearts as well as those whom they serve. God bless Meadowbrook and all these children. Joyce
