A BIG SHOUT OUT to Lutheran Charities LERT (Lutheran Emergency Response Team). We had two giant trees fall from the storm at our house hitting our shed on Wednesday. I called asking for help and they responded with a team today. The four men on the team , including SOTH’s own Bruce Preston, spent the entire day 8:30am-4pm at our house cutting the trees down. I cannot thank these men enough. We appreciate you! These men volunteer their time to do this. We gave a donation to SOTH which will give to Lutheran Charities to help with equipment and travel expenses as the team came from all over IL.
Thank you Bruce, Rick, Mike and John.
What a great Lutheran charity!

Here’s another video of VBS Bible Adventure stations. I (Heather) leads this station for VBS. Every day we act out a story from the Bible. We relate each story back to the Bible point for the day.

Day 1: God is our creator.
Day 2: God knows everything.
Day 3: God is our safe place.
Day 4: God is love.
Day 5: God is forever.

The children go home with a Bible Buddy for each day of VBS and on the bottom of Buddy is a verse to remind them of these points.
