Essay On Vacation Bible School

Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). Christian education is not all about what takes place in the formal classroom at school. As Christian educators, we are in a partnership with moms and dads to help shape and disciple their children. It is the discipleship of children that propels believing teachers to devote their life to this vital ministry of Christian education.

Every Wednesday I attend Generation 180, which is my church youth group at Highland Christ Community.

Earlier in the semester, we had the opportunity to attend the Interfaith Winston-Salem tour. In just a few hours, we got a glimpse of the incredible amount of religious diversity present in Winston-Salem. Over the past ten years, Forsyth County has become increasingly diverse as businesses flock to the triad, bringing people from all over the country and the world into one community. This population boom has changed the religious landscape of Winston-Salem. As different religions continue to come together, it becomes increasingly necessary for people to understand their neighbors in order to create a cohesive society. Therefore, we propose that the academic study of religion should be offered in the Forsyth County public school

One thing that I find interesting and one that I enjoy is Montreat. Montreat during the year serves as a presbyterian college just outside of Asheville North Carolina.During the summer it serves as a Presbyterian Youth Conference. It is held over the course of 6 weeks. Broken up into three sets of two, each with different planning teams and small group leaders. There are many things to do at Montreat, not just take a break and connect with God a little more. You could hike up Mt. Lookout, go rock hopping, or sit in an eno and eat some ice cream from the Huckleberry. However you choose to spend your free time you always seem to make new friends.

Praise and testimony opened day two of the Conference. Even the outside dampness of the rain could not interfere with the warmth and praise in the beautiful sanctuary. Bible study, taught by Rev. Annette Hoskins-Satterfield, Pastor of Pierce Chapel AME Zion Church, was powerful, practical, and soul stirring teaching. In her message, “Stewardship,” she dealt fiercely with the four principles of stewardship: we do not own it, responsibility, accountability and reward. She reminded us that we are seeking to hear God say, “Well done!” As she closed, she shared that stewardship is a place of leadership, not grunt

Here I interacted with similarly aged Christians and did learning activities together with instructors. As I got older, when I attended LaSalle Springs Middle School, I began to participate in Vacation Bible School as a teacher and would give out activities for the younger children to do. Shortly after, I went through conformation to officially become a member of the Church. During this time, I was also baptized because I wasn’t at birth.

When these children come to school, they will follow a good leader. They will thrive in a loving environment. For some of these children, we are the only God that they will ever see. By this I mean, we must show the love of God in everything we do, he must be ever present in our daily lives. Some of the children may have never experienced a Christian environment, and they need it more than ever, and it’s our job to provide it for them.

Some people would question why there is not many kids involved in the church or not making the change. So, that’s why Augustinian Volunteers are there to be involved in the way that’s best for not only themselves but everyone else too. They will now preach the gospel. They will pass their knowledge on God down to the ones that don’t have much of it. Doesn’t only change the people you are helping but it changes your life too. You end up learning more and going down the right path that God has created for you. It is about that feeling you get when you accomplish something. That something is making an impact on thousands of people the Augustinians get each year. Acting as an Augustin wanted, serving the people of God, living and eating together and just searching for God together.

Last summer I was on the administrative team helping to keep the camp in order, and making sure all churches were sufficiently informed of the important information they needed. I also worked with the Ryde On team; they bring ski boats to the Georgia Baptist Convention Center and have tubing and skiing for the campers.

MOUNT VERNON, Ky. — Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) has partnered with a group of youth from 10 different LDS congregations in the Lexington area for the first time to serve in Rockcastle County. The youth conference consists of kids ages 14-18 doing various projects around CAP such as commodity distribution at Grateful Bread Food Pantry, preparing disaster relief bags on Williams St., sorting/steaming clothing donation for Grateful Threadz, and constructing ramps/benches at the housing barn in Mount Vernon. Once a year there is a conference like this to strengthen the kid’s faith in Christ, allowing the kids to build important friendships, and serve the larger community.

Vacation Bible School is a program that the First Baptist Church of Carrizo Springs offers to young students within the community. The soul purpose of this program is to help students find The Lord through reading his word. Vacation Bible School wants to help students find hope with Christianity. This program is also a great way for students to create memories, and learn lessons that they will carry throughout the rest of their lives.

Besides my experience in the National Honor Society, I also serve as a classroom leader in my church’s children’s ministry. My purpose as a classroom leader is to inspire and motivate young kindergarteners and first graders in pursuing a deeper spiritual relationship with God. I am there for the kids and their love for Christ; I wake up early each Sunday to make sure their spiritual needs are a priority. Working with little kids truly humbles me as a person, and it motivates me to put other’s needs before my own

But that was not completely the case. I played football, face painted, jumped rope and just fellowshipped and interacted with those kids. They took pictures on the volunteers phones and were truly loved on. We all met in Aventura lobby at two in the afternoon, and left about two fifteen. We drove to Kathleen high school and parked at an open field in a church parking lot. Then, we walked through the neighborhood, picking up the normal kids who come. We brought them back to the field and began to play and let the kids choose what activities they want to do, like football, frisbee, jump rope, face/body painting and soccer. They are free to do whatever they please until it is time for Bible study. We gathered up all of the kids onto the tarp and sat them down and one of the volunteers (students) presents a Bible study. For instance, last week was about giving everything you have to God and not being selfish. Most of these kids do not have a lot of possessions so they do not want to give anything they have up. But one little boy stood up and said “I would give up school for the Church,” that was not exactly the point of the lesson, but the fact that he was willing to give up something was a step in the right direction. Before snack, we have one of the kids pray, it is so convicting seeing those kids are so excited to pray and they argue over who gets to pray first; yet, in some of my

Part of church culture for decades, attending regular church services and Sunday School allows you to deepen your faith and involve yourself in the church community. While some people believe that Sunday School is only for children, the Friendship Baptist Church, located in Warner Robins, Georgia, think otherwise and explain why Sunday School is also important for adults below.

As Christian educators, we are called to promote and support learning in those areas. True teaching is a sharing of realities, likening the teaching process and weaving connections between their teachings and understandings themselves and the world around them. If we do not make connections for the students to the world around them, many times these precious gifts graced upon them will be overlooked or passed by because the young minds may not be able to recognize them. Some areas of observation might be seen as open doors to see or perceive and understand something of God and His motion as reflected through the created world and the Bible. Other areas might be seen as open doors to respond, apply, express and practice in ways that are consistent with biblical values. When these areas are discovered and embraced, many times they can address the major developmental needs in the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional realms of the student’s life. Identifying these areas is helping the students begin their walk with the Lord and their own calling.
