Which Way Did They Go?

Have you ever seen the t-shirt that has written on it: "I'm the leader, which way did they go?" Well, this past week was our Vacation Bible School and I think I needed one of those shirts! What a blessing it was to see kids (and even some adults) from all around our community coming to VBS each night. Even more amazing was the great way our workers were able to work with the large number of children and keep everything working smoothly. We began the week with a great crowd but each night it grew. Then, on Friday night, we had the largest crowd of the week! There were parents and kids everywhere enjoying themselves and having a great time. Our men, and young people, built an obstacle course for the kids that was a big hit all week long. And as you will see in the pictures on our church web site (http://www.cbcsilercity.org), it was also a hit with some adults, too! On Friday night we rented a huge rock-climbing wall along with a huge blow-up slide. I want to thank our Assistant Pastor, Bro. Dan Principe, for all of his hard work to make this all come together. His leadership and coordination of the entire week was what kept things going smoothly. We are very blessed to have Bro. Dan and his wife Mrs. Cherish here at Community Baptist Church. They are not only a blessing to this church, but also to me as their pastor. We are now preparing for our Teen Missions Trip to Maine coming up in a couple of weeks. Pray for us that we will be a blessing and that God will speak to OUR teens as well.
