    I moved to the Gulf Coast of MS the same day the covid lockdowns began. My husband and I are LCMS and didn’t attend church for almost a year. We did live stream our former church in Illinois and attended Bible class. We finally met with a LCMS pastor at a very tiny church in Pascagoula. We explained we were extremely active in church and now that we are retired we’d have even more time. He asked us if we’d be willing to do a makeshift VBS for a small number of children. We’d have to come up with the theme as there is no money to buy an established program. We agreed and since we are so close to the Mississippi Sound, I thought we’d do a water theme. So we are doing: Jesus calling Peter and Andrew, Jesus walks on the water and Jesus calms the sea. Your story is PERFECT for the last entry. This will be fun and strengthen my faith as to researching and planning a VBS on a shoestring. Thank you for your amazing story and God bless.

      Thank you for sharing your story. May the seeds you plant during VBS produce an abundant harvest in the lives of everyone involved.
      God Bless You.
