Hope Covenant Church | You Missed a Great VBS

This blog post will be short because it has been one of the most intense weeks in a long time. This past week at Hope Covenant Church, we have had vacation bible school. The theme of this week was, "Inside Out and Upside Down on Main Street". The church was transformed into a town, and it looked fantastic. The children had a great time and learned a lot about Jesus, the way to treat others, and how important the church can be to your spiritual life. I am going to give you five words. Each of these words will be a future blog post for you to reflect on, but I wanted to give you a preview today.

1. Gratitude

2. Compassion

3. Forgiveness

4. Faithfulness

5. Grace

I would love for you to think about what these words mean. How they apply to your life. And how you can use these words to move closer in your relationship with the Lord. I also want to leave you with the lyrics of the chorus of my favorite VBS song.

Learn to forgive, let the hurt go.

Follow the Lord, let His mercy show.

Learn to forgive, let everyone see.

How good it can be, to share God's forgiveness.
