VBS THANKSGIVING 2022
Allow me share some snippets on VBS 2022.
VBS 2022 prep work started months ago, with crew members coming back on Saturdays to work on props, administrative work such as 200 name tags for the crew and children, music and skit rehearsals etc. These called out all creativity in us to complete on time. As it has always been shared – not because we are able but only because God enabled.
Over 3 days of set-up just before VBS, the church was transformed into a creative studio.
And then the children came.
We had 111 sign-ups, 4 walk-ins during the programme itself, bringing the total number of participants to 115.
Blessed with over 90 volunteers, including individuals and small groups from within as well as from outside, Foochow Methodist Church hosted close to 200 of us between 1st and 3rd Dec 2022.
We prayed with children who came. We shared Bible stories and Bible points with them.
We sang and danced with them, we taught them lessons through skits, we even let them play with their food before eating during snack time! We did craft work together, we played with them.
In return, we received lots of love from them.
We also had a team who made sure all 200 of us were well fed! We look forward to the once-a-year spaghetti and nasi lemak! Thank you Uncle Bert and team! Some of us got tired, crew and children alike. But we all came back each day after a good night’s rest!
ANNOUNCEMENT
We shared the Gospel with over 80 of them from P1 to P6 and 42% of them expressed interest in knowing more about God. We thank God for opening the children's ears and hearts towards Him.
25% of the children were unchurched, children from our FMC Kindergarten, from referral, word of mouth sharing and even from Google search!
We thank God for the good weather, for holding up our hands and feet that there were no major injuries and that the children had a good time. Their active participation spoke multitudes, proving that it was not just us who missed holding VBS since the last one in 2019.
VBS is a precious experience for all of us, participants and crew members alike.
We get the chance to plant the seed of God's word in the children's hearts. We aim to make this an experience that will stick with the children for life. We thank God for His guidance in Spark Studios VBS 2022 and we pray for His guidance as we rev up the engine to prepare for the next one.
Last but not least, the VBS family is always looking for new members and we welcome you to join us for our next one!
See you next year!

经文 Scripture 1 Peter 2:4-8
DISCUSSION QUESTION:
日期 Date 11/12/2022
We are like living stones being built up as a spiritual house by God. (1 Peter 2:5)
1. What aspects of Jesus do you think you need to be shaped and aligned into?
2. What does it mean for you to be built up in God’s spiritual house together with other living stones?Whoever believes in Christ the Cornerstone will not be put to shame. (1 Peter 2:6)
3. What are some things that the world tries to use to demean Christians? Pray for faith to trust in Christ our Cornerstone.
4. Do you know someone who might be struggling with the guilt of shame? How might you extend a hand of grace to them today?
