Hey Midcurrent,

As I sit down to write this, it is currently 6:57 p.m. on Tuesday night. I’m sitting in my office at church, and on the other side of the wall are 150 (very energetic) kids filling every single inch of this building and having more fun than should ever be allowed! What’s going on over here?? Great question. It’s ILLUMINATION STATION! We are shining a light on who Jesus really is for a whole week of Vacation Bible School at Midcurrent. We’re only halfway through, and it’s been amazing!

I’ll be honest with you… VBS is a huge endeavor, and it’s not cheap, especially when more and more kids come every year. And yet, from the very beginning, I was adamant that VBS be FREE for every kid who wanted to be a part of it. There was absolutely no way I was ever going to let money be a barrier to kids in our community learning about Jesus and how much Jesus loves them.

But as you all know, nothing is ever truly free. Someone, somewhere has to foot the bill. And that is why I am so grateful to be a part of such a generous church like this. So many of you give so faithfully to what God is doing here at Midcurrent. And that means that you have had a direct hand in making this week possible for kids in this community. Because when you give, a portion of every dollar goes toward the creation of unforgettable experiences like VBS, as well as every other experience MC Kids creates week in and week out.

Statistics show that the single strongest predictor of faith in the life of an adult is the experience that same adult had as a child in church between the ages of 5 and 17. Midcurrent, these years and these experiences for kids matter! And as a church, we are committed to doing everything we can to invest in their faith and in their future. And we couldn’t do it without you. Your generosity is truly making a difference!

So, on behalf of the 150 kids whose lives very well may be changed forever because of this one week, and because of you, let me say, THANK YOU!

I’d also love to see you this Sunday as we celebrate an awesome week of VBS and dive into Week 2 in our series Quiet Quitting.
