This Sunday: Pray for the spiritual growth of those helping with your church’s VBS
In 2023, our church had a small sort of VBS for the first time (we made ukuleles and practiced some songs to play for the church.) This year, we do not have a VBS, though some of our teens helped lead some at other churches as evangelistic outreaches. So many other churches offer VBS that many families cycle through to essentially have summer daycare throughout June and July.
A few parents have wondered about a lack of VBS, but mostly they are okay with going to all the others. I am beginning to have my youth group do more with younger groups. (Most of the youth volunteer in some way in the church, including teaching Sunday School.) Perhaps we are approaching a time when the youth hold the VBS!
In any event, we need to pray for children to heat the gospel and how to shepherd the whole congregation, whether or not there is VBS.

Unity amongst our leadership became a major priority in 2023, which we called “the year of the attack on unity” for our congregation. 2024 was not better, but we have become more close-knit as leaders and even amongst the congregation as a whole.
Pray hard and often for the unity of pastors and elders.
