It's that time of year! It's VBS! Pray for the children that will be touch by God's Word, pray for the workers as they give of themselves, and pray for unsaved parents that they will see God working.
This Sunday, my church starts - Kingdom of the Son: A Prayer Safari through the Lord's Prayer. We have five consecutive Sunday nights packed with lessons, missionary stories, crafts, snacks, and of course game time. And I’m in charge of all of the 1st graders! Yikes! It really won’t be that bad… just call me the kid herder (we herd the kids around to the different station). I’m not sure how many 1st graders I’m going to have, but my guesstimate is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 or 60 (taking into consideration last year’s k-5 class).
Simultaneously my church holds what’s called Wisdom Fest. This is a focused study on a pertinent subject to our community. Two years ago Wisdom Fest was a study on Anger, last year it was a study on Relativism, and this year’s title is:
Family CPR – Breathing life into the American Family. The future of the American family is in a life and death struggle for survival. Join us for five consecutive Sundays at 5:30pm as we explore cultural and personal trends from a biblical perspective.

Pray, then, in this way:
Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
[For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]
