🌿✨ Looking Back with Gratitude – United Vacation Bible School 2026 ✨🌿
Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we reflect on an incredible United Vacation Bible School held on July 17 & 18 at the CSI Congregation of Chicago, Elmhurst, in partnership with Christ CSI Church, Calvary CSI Church, and Redeemer CSI Church.
This year’s theme, “Fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22–23), reminded us that as we abide in Christ, the Holy Spirit produces beautiful fruit in our lives—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Over two wonderful days, our children experienced God’s love through inspiring Bible lessons, joyful worship, music, crafts, games, sports, fellowship, and delicious meals. More importantly, they were encouraged to grow in their faith and to reflect Christ in their everyday lives.
A heartfelt thank you to our pastors, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, volunteers, parents, donors, and every child who participated. Your dedication, hard work, and prayers made this United VBS a joyful and meaningful experience. We truly appreciate each person who gave their time, talents, and love in serving God’s children.
We praise God for His faithfulness and for the friendships that were strengthened as four churches came together as one body in Christ. May the seeds planted during VBS continue to grow, and may the Fruit of the Spirit be evident in each of our lives throughout the year.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” – Galatians 5:22–23
To God be all the glory! 💚🍎🍇
