We sponsored our first VBS in East Aurora this week at the Lighthouse. Terrific week all the way around, but here were some particular highlights for me . . .
- Watching Josie take an idea/vision and make it happen. She came to me last spring and asked if she could do this, and with her right-hand arm, Betty, created the entire VBS experience. They did a phenomenal job.
- Seeing so many new volunteers---especially the junior high and high school students who got up early every morning to come love on these kids.
- Seeing such a multi-racial group of kids from Aurora, Naperville, and Oswego making friends and playing together.
- Hearing Kristen, Lisa, and Kathy make Jesus come alive for these kids.
- Meeting parents of kids we've been driving to church for months for the very first time, and seeing them smile as their kids sang about Jesus' love.
