One of the greatest joys I experienced during VBS this year was in working with the teachers and parents. I am constantly amazed at the Spirit of Christ that flows through the efforts of such dedicated, loving folks. This Spirit was evident from the planning stages right on through to the evening of worship and fun we shared together on our final VBS night. It was especially wonderful to have so many men involved in this crucial ministry with our children. Maybe it was playing with the power tools, maybe it was sanding together - for whatever reason, the men of our congregations were there offering their skills, their friendship, and their guidance.
Christian education is too precious a ministry to be overlooked by our men or our women.
The day was filled with hard work and grubby fun. Maybe the very best part was sitting around after the roof was disassembled. That reminds me of an interesting fact Bob Georgi pointed out one Sunday in Basalt. He caught me after worship and said he'd been counting that Sunday. There were more men in worship than women and more young people than adults.
