St. Louis Taiwanese Presbyterian Church Vacation Bible School
Thanks to the prayers, giving hearts and hard work of a
great many of the Taiwanese Presbyterian Church family, and in the larger ethnic
community, TPC has just concluded what is probably the best Vacation Bible
School it has ever been blessed to hold. We were able to share the Gospel of our
Blessed Lord with a grand total of 51 children last week, and with these seeds
planted in their hearts trust that they will be better, more responsible
children. They have all become like our own families and we hope to see every
one of them often!!
Parents & Families: First of all, thanks go to all the parents and
families who brought their beloved children and sent to our vacation Bible
school this year. We love you all!
Publicity: Thanks go to all the many people who made flyers, wrote articles,
sent emails, made calls, published articles and put up signs and banners.
Because of the all this publicity, we had a really great turnout.
Decorating: Thanks go to so many people who built canopies, set up the gazebo,
painted the mural, hung decorations, designed the layout, and brought so many
things to create the wonderful atmosphere of a neighborhood town square
somewhere in 1st century Jerusalem.
Supplies and Materials: Thanks go to all you who brought supplies, materials and
costumes, and the many other items used in our tribes and Synagogue school and
marketplace shops. All these items made our town square interesting and
lifelike.
Teaching and Leading: Thanks go to all who gave so much of their time, talent
and patience to work directly with the children, either as leaders or
assistants, directing, planning, sharing the truths of the Bible and the love of
Jesus with them, studying and preparing lessons, music, games and crafts.
Learning and experiencing these things helped broaden the children's
understanding of what it means to be a Christian and Who Jesus is.
Food: Thanks go to all who bought, brought, prepared and served food for our
snacks and for the whole VBS staff. Because of these people the children always
had great snacks.
Archiving: Thanks go to those who spent time recording our VBS for the future,
taking pictures and video, and talking to many of us. And now we'll have many
pictures and videos for us to relive the great times of Jerusalem Marketplace.
Cleanup and Facility Care: Thanks go to those who helped keep the place clean
every day, who helped straighten things up, turning off the lights and locking
the doors.
Transportation: Thanks go to those who provided transport to the children and
those who lent the use of their vehicles. Because of them many children were
able to hear God's Word.
Finally, thanks to everyone who contributed in many other ways too numerous to
mention, and who prayed God's blessing on this VBS!! And please know that all of
you, children, parents, helpers all, are always welcome to contact me for prayer
or questions about God at masanosuke@archdt.com and at 314-534-6452.
Thank You!!!
Jesus bless,
Pastor Wesley Masanosuke Cummins |
