📚✏️ BACK TO SCHOOL BLESSINGS! 🍎🙏🏾

As our Eighth Street Baptist Church children and youth head back to school, we are covering each of them in prayer! ❤️

We pray for safe travels, protected classrooms, focused minds, kind hearts, great teachers, new friendships, and a successful school year. May God give every student the confidence to walk boldly into this new year, knowing that He is with them every step of the way.

To our ESBC students: Work hard. Be kind. Make good choices. Let your light shine! 🌟

And to our parents, educators, administrators, and school staff—we are praying for you, too!

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” — Philippians 4:13

Have an amazing school year, ESBC! 📓🚌🍎

🛠️✨ As we close the chapter on VBS 2026, we do so with full hearts and renewed spirits.

This week, the halls and sanctuary of Eighth Street Baptist Church were filled with children, youth, and adults learning together through our Junkyard Redemption theme. Day after day, we were reminded that God has a way of taking what seems broken, overlooked, or worn by life's circumstances and transforming it into something beautiful for His glory.

While the decorations will come down and the schedule will return to normal, the conversations, lessons, laughter, fellowship, and moments of spiritual growth will remain. We witnessed generations gathering together to study God's Word, strengthen their faith, and be reminded that no life is beyond God's reach and no situation is beyond His power to redeem.

VBS is never just about a week of activities. It is about creating opportunities for people to encounter God's truth, deepen their relationship with Him, and leave encouraged to continue the work He has started in them.

As we move forward, may we carry the message of Junkyard Redemption with us: God is still restoring, still rebuilding, and still making all things new.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." — 2 Corinthians 5:17
