A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR

Bruce G. Chesser

Thank you for your prayers for the Students that were at camp this past week. Thank you to all of the adult volunteers who made it happen. Thank you–to many of you–who gave financial support to a student that would not have been able to attend otherwise.

Tomorrow morning we kick off VBS 2023! I pray that it will be a great week. We will have sessions in the morning and evening this week. Hundreds of volunteers make VBS happen for the kids who will attend. Pray that the Lord would bless us with a tremendous week of Vacation Bible School.

This morning we will study Luke 10:25-37. It is a favorite passage for us all. Everyone knows this story and I look forward to studying it with you today.

Thank you for being at First Baptist Hendersonville today!

CONNECTING EVERY GENERATION, TO GOD, OTHERS & SERVICE

SUNDAY CONNECT

with Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce Raley

One of my earliest memories of church is Vacation Bible School. I still remember the teachers, the crafts we made, and more. I remember one particular Bible lesson–the walls of Jericho tumbling down. Now, several decades later, I can still picture the scene of that lesson.

There is something special about Vacation Bible School. It is a place of energy, laughter, excitement. It is also a place where God works in the hearts of precious children. Many come to a saving faith in Jesus at VBS. For some kids, it is the first time they will have heard of Jesus and His love for them.

Pray, pray, pray for VBS this week! It will be a busy and long week for many leaders. But it is worth all the energy and work. In fact, I believe this week will make the difference of an eternity in the lives of many.

It is a joy to serve you.

Bruce Raley
