Pilgrim Lutheran Church is offering Vacation Bible School (VBS) to its members and to the community Sunday, June 4, through Thursday, June 7. Each day a light supper is served starting at 5:00 p.m., and sessions run from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Three-year-olds through 6th-graders are welcome, as well as adults (7th-graders and up can help or attend the adult class). Registration forms can be submitted to the church office (please indicate any food allergies).
As God the Father leads us to repent of our sin and trust Him to forgive our sin for the sake of His Son, the God-man Jesus Christ, Who was crucified and rose again for us, the Holy Spirit working through His Means of Grace (preaching, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper) leads us to bring forth the fruits of faith described by the Ten Commandments. Each day, Pilgrim’s VBS will both teach God’s law that shows us our sin and proclaim the Gospel that sanctifies, or makes us holy, both forgiving our sin and bringing forth those fruits of faith according to our callings in life. Opening and closing worship, music, skits, lessons, crafts, games, and snacks all center on the Sanctified theme.
The following are the more-specific themes and primary Scripture passages for each day.
- Sunday: Jesus is Lord and God (John 20:24-29)
- Monday: The Holy Lord Delivers His Holy Word (1 Samuel 2:12-26)
- Tuesday: Honor and Truth Come from the Lord (John 18:33-19:16a)
- Wednesday: True Love for our Neighbor (Matthew 1:18-25; Ephesians 5:21-33)
- Thursday: True Love for Our Neighbor’s Stuff (Genesis 39:1-23)
As with previous years VBS materials, the “Sanctified” VBS materials were produced under the auspices of Higher Things, a registered service organization of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
