We just finished an amazing week of High Seas Expedition! What a  exciting adventure it was. Each day, children were encouraged to look for God Sightings, (glimpses of God in everyday situations).  The kids learned  that God shows up everyday for them even when they don’t realize it.

I want to share with you a few of my God Sightings from this week.  First of all, it did not rain at all!  We were blessed with sunshine, which was extremely helpful due to the fact that our game station was outside.  We were fortunate to have multiple volunteers and more than enough help, even though last Sunday it looked as though we might be short a few helping hands!  Every child was touched by God this week through singing and other fun activities (fourteen Bibles were given out)!  We would like to thank our VBS partner, Plymouth Heights CRC, for all the hard work they provided this week. What a blessing to have two churches work together for God’s kingdom.

I am so thankful for every person who helped, donated items, and prayed for VBS this year.  We had a wonderful week. God is so good!
