Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
Well,
I guess I can say now it is officially over. Vacation Bible School 2005 has
really come to an end. As I write this
it is about 5 minutes after Midnight on Friday and Holly and I are just getting
home and I am taking a few minutes to reflect on the week that we just had. One
of the first things that you learn as a Pastor is that you can’t always judge
an event in the immediate future, it can take weeks, months
even a year or so to bare much fruit. That is especially so when it comes to
We
had people work and attend our VBS this year that had never attended or worked
in one before. They told me personally how blessed they were and what all they
gained from it. We had two children that had to be taken to a lady’s house that
attends our church to be cleaned up and a change of clothes found for them
before they were able to come. They will never forget that act of love and
kindness from that church family for the rest of their lives. And who could
forget little Ricky. Monday night Ricky
had to be sent home early for behavior issues.
But Thursday night Ricky was on
stage helping sing the songs and doing hand motions. Brother Lanny said it best
when he said that the whole week was worth seeing the change in that one child.
Call
me crazy, call me sentimental or whatever else you can think of but I am a
little sad that it is over. I’m going to miss the kids, the fun, the fellowship with one another. I believe I have gotten closer to some of you
because of this past week. But most of all I am going to miss getting that
great privilege and opportunity to tell the children about the Love of God.
In
my prayers,
Pastor Anthony
Return
to Home.
