Vacation Bible School Coming – Kindness Matters!
Kindness Matters VBS is June 23-27, 9 a.m. to noon, at Second Baptist Church.
Kids will learn all about kindness through the stories and teachings of Jesus. The Bible is filled with verses that bring joy, hope and encouragement to our hearts. These scriptures remind us of God’s love, promises and the happiness that comes from walking in His ways.
During Vacation Bible School we will introduce a new scripture each day and feature numerous Bible stories illustrating kindness, including the Good Samaritan, the story of Ruth and Naomi and Jesus’s teachings and actions, all emphasizing compassion, empathy, and helping those in need.
During the week we will make a kindness box and paint kindness rocks to share with the community.
We have all kinds of new songs to learn and will have a special snack and outdoor games each day.
