VBS Day 4
Today we learned about the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:36–40. When asked which commandment was the greatest, Jesus taught that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our focus for the day was unconditional love and understanding that every person is valuable because God created and loves them. We reminded the children of this important truth: “You are a child of God, and you matter.” Through our Lions in the Grass game, the Jesus Mobile craft, the children explored ways to show God's love to others. We also completed a gingerbread activity where each child listed five things they love about themselves, helping them recognize the unique gifts and qualities God has given them.
The day ended with a program for the kids to share what they learned during the week.
