vacation bible school:

The week that was high flying!
Wow! Vacation Bible School (8/20–8/24) was an amazing week! Each day over 80 kids, youth, and adults participated—as volunteers, as helpers, and as enrollees. We all learned a flight plan for life: Follow God; Trust God; Listen to God; Repent with God; and Serve God in all we do! If you mention one of these promises to one of the participants, you will hear a re-sounding “Lift Off!” And, “Lift Off!” is exactly what we did on Wednesday morning! Each and every person on the church campus had the opportunity to go for a tethered hot-air balloon ride! Thanks to Sandy Frye and RE/MAX of Michigan, the children have a whole new understanding of “Soaring to New Heights with God.” Through the Bible stories of Abraham following, Joseph trusting, Mary listening, Zacchaeus repenting, and, John serving, the kids have a wonderful flight path for the beginning of the school year. And speaking of school, this group has donated crayons, markers, glue, paper, pencils, and folders to children in the Harbor Springs school system—a whole balloon basket full!!
