A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, June 24th

Good Morning, God
Lord, the Vacation Bible Schools for children are coming and going these days.  From VBSs that result in a young person's baptism to VBSs that take advantage of current media for theme - for example "Pandamania" and "Kung Fu Panda II" - to VBSs that take us back in time to what a market place was like in Jesus' days, we try to reach our children through the Bible points, Bible crafts, Bible songs and fun food and activities.  Lord, a lot of work by a lot of adults goes into Vacation Bible School, and the question is often asked if all the effort is worth it.  Well, Lord, is it worth it?

"First of all, my people, you are to teach the gospel in as many ways as possible.  Second, wherever two or three are gathered, I am there.  Third, let the children come to me, for such is the kingdom.  Fourth, Bible School is easy compared to the martyrdom that results from other ways of telling the Good News".

You are right, Lord.  Now give us the strength to lead and the desire to follow each Vacation Bible School.
In Jesus name, Amen
