Vista Kids in Review
Learning Hour Last Sunday: We explored the story of David and Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:1-13)! David extended kindness and even invited Mephibosheth to eat at his table each night instead of doing what was acceptable at the time! Our Vista Kids creates a kindness scavenger hunt, used a compliment spinner, and made a LEGO heart necklace to remind us to extend grace and love to others!
Bible Story Focus: The world wants us to claim power, but God wants us to show love and care.
Wonder Together: How does it make you feel when you show kindness to someone?
Our scripture theme for this month is: The Lord sees into the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7c)
Prayer for this Week: Dear God, thank you for stories about David and his family. They teach us to show your love to everyone. Amen.
Children's Church during Worship: Why VRUMC? We began work on a pages of a “ABCs of Why We Love VRUMC!” See if your family can go through each letter of the alphabet with something they love about VRUMC!

September 21-22, 2019
Join us for a Bible Retreat for children who will be in Grades 3-5 in the 2019-2020 school year.
Registration is now open!
You are going to be part of this very special weekend where our theme will be Be the Church. We will focus on the words Jesus gave us to live out his ministry as the body of Christ as we speak the love, grace, truth and compassion of God.
At Camp Bible, we recognize how important it is for us to use our Bibles since God continues to talk to us through words and stories. Not only will we share in the adventure of learning about our Bibles, we will share in camp life as well. Get ready to look at the stars, eat outside, play games, shoot arrows, dance, do crafts and so much more.
