⛰️🌍✨ VBS Night 4 – What an Amazing Journey! ✨🌍⛰️

Tonight, Gene and Aaron faced their final challenge at Mount Kilimanjaro. They discovered that neither Gene’s smarts nor Aaron’s strength could get them through the tunnel alone. By trusting each other and working together, they accomplished what seemed impossible and they became the winners of The Amazing Journey!!

In the end, they learned that the greatest treasure was not hidden in the mountain—it was the friendship, trust, and teamwork they built along the way.

Pastor Bobby reminded us that “Teamwork makes the dream work!” God gives us family, friends, and our church family to encourage us, strengthen us, and help us grow together.

🚧 Tonight’s Signpost: God transforms us.

Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, teachers, youth, and families who have made this week so special! ❤️

🎉 Join us tomorrow night for our VBS Celebration Night as we wrap up an incredible week of fun, worship, and adventure! We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.

🌎✨ What an Amazing Journey VBS has been so far! ✨🌎

We’ve traveled the world, laughed together, learned together, and most importantly, grown closer to God. Here’s a look back at what we’ve discovered this week:

❤️ Day 1 – GOD HEARS US
📖 “I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.” — Psalm 116:1

💙 Day 2 – GOD SAVES US
📖 “For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” — Romans 10:13

💚 Day 3 – GOD GUIDES US
📖 “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14

What incredible reminders! No matter where life’s journey takes us, we can trust that God hears us, God saves us, and God guides us. 🙌

But our Amazing Journey isn’t over yet! We have ONE MORE DAY of adventures, worship, games, crafts, and discovering God’s truth before we celebrate all that He’s done on Friday! 🎉

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow as we finish this incredible journey together! ❤️🌍✈️

✨🌊 VBS Night 3 Recap! 🌊✨

Another incredible night at Vacation Bible School! Our contestants, Gene & Aaron, continued their Amazing Journey by traveling to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean near the coast of Australia! 🐠🚢

Their mission? Use a submarine and a GPS to find the next clue. Gene may be the brains 🧠 and Aaron may be the muscles 💪, but neither of them could have completed this challenge without the submarine and GPS! The other teams thought they knew better and ignored the GPS…and that’s exactly why Gene and Aaron are still in 1st place! 🏆

Gene finally admitted, “I’m starting to think it’s not my intelligence or Aaron’s muscles getting us through these challenges.”

Aaron smiled and said, “You’re FINALLY getting it! It’s called GRACE…but this is a race—LET’S GO!” 😂🏃💨

Pastor Bobby taught us all about directions—North, East, South, West—and gave us a fun way to remember them: “Never Eat Soggy Waffles!” 🧇🧭 We learned that just as Gene and Aaron needed the GPS to guide them, we need God to guide our lives. When we follow His direction instead of trying to do things our own way, He leads us where we need to go.

We also had an awesome night filled with Bible lessons, worship, crafts, games, supper, and lots of laughter! ❤️

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow as the Amazing Journey continues! 🌎✈️

🎉🌿 VBS Night 2 was WILD! 🌿🎉

Gene & Aaron were back on The Amazing Journey, trekking through the rainforest of Peru in search of an ancient lost city. Just when things weren’t looking so great… 🚁 a search-and-rescue helicopter came to the rescue! They made it to the next round, and somehow they were STILL in first place! 🏆

Poor Gene just couldn’t figure it out. “But…what if we hadn’t had help..” 🤔 Aaron’s response? “It’s called GRACE! Now come on—we’re still in first place! Let’s GO!” 😂❤️

What a perfect reminder that God’s grace isn’t something we earn—it’s a gift!

We sang, learned more about God’s Word, tackled another memory verse, made awesome crafts, played games, enjoyed a great supper and had LOTS of laughs along the way. It was another incredible night, and we can’t wait to see where our Amazing Journey takes us next!

Who’s ready for Night 3?! 🌎✈️🎊

🎬 And that’s a wrap on Night 1 of VBS…and what a night it was! 🎬

The excitement kicked off as we met our amazing director, Mrs. Alysson, along with our enthusiastic contestants, Gene & Aaron, who officially launched us into an incredible week of adventure!

Our first big lesson reminded us of something so important—God hears us! ❤️

📖 Memory Verse: Psalm 116:1
“I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.”

Pastor Bobby taught us about Moses and even showed us how to signal an SOS, reminding us that no matter what we’re facing, we can always call out to God because He hears every prayer.

We created awesome crafts, played exciting games, enjoyed a delicious supper, laughed together, and made memories that will last long after VBS is over!

We can’t wait to see everyone back tomorrow night as the adventure continues! ❤️
