The first day at VBS with our Canyon Springs Gamers was awesome!

Our team of Game Masters and Game Master Assistants are the cream of the crop and made Day One a smashing success!

The campers made their way to four different adventures this morning: Craft, Snack/Rec, Music and Story. All of them centered around our mission for the week, which is…

Following Jesus Changes the Game!!

Today’s bible story was based on the scripture from Matthew 4:18 and Luke 5:1-11. Jesus sat in the boat of a fisherman named Peter to teach the

crowds God’s Word. Then, Jesus told Peter to take the boat into the deep water to catch fish. Peter said they had tried all night to catch fish, but he and the other fishermen obeyed Jesus. They caught so many fish their nets began to tear and break and their boats began to sink. When Peter saw this miracle he fell down at Jesus’ feet. “Go away from me,” Peter told Jesus, “because I am a sinful man, Lord!” Peter knew how sinful he was next to Jesus’ holiness. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Peter. “Follow Me, and I will make you fish for people.” Peter and the other fishermen left everything and followed Jesus.

The lesson reflects today’s message:

Jesus is Holy and that changes EVERYTHING!

Vision de Dios

In light of following God’s plan, this week our Canyon Springs Gamers are invited to help Vision de Dios in Tijuana and partner with them to supply “love boxes” for seniors in Tijuana living in a residential home.  We provide the funds and they will purchase the needs many of these seniors have including adult diapers, t-shirts, hats and hygiene supplies.  “Regalos Para Abuelos” (gifts for grandparents)  gives our VBS campers a chance to love on “grandparents” in Tijuana.  Campers can bring donations to VBS. At the end of each day we will count how many “gifts” we were able to provide based on the campers’ donations.

Your children also came home with a postcard about our one day, family friendly mission trip to Mexico. It will take place on Saturday, June 24th. If you and your child would like to attend, you can sign up and get all the detailed information at www.canyonsprings.org/events.

Gamer Extraordinaire

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 20th is Gamer Extraordinaire at VBS ~ Come to VBS dressed as your favorite video game character (pac man, mario brothers), wear a game shirt, dress up as board game theme (Guess Who, Twister Board, Candy Land, Monopoly Guy, the man from Operation, Hungry, Hungry, Hippos, a dice, etc.) Get creative!!!. (Campers do not have to wear their VBS t-shirt on this day, but attire needs to remain appropriate). Please also refrain from bringing any large “props” as it will be challenging for children to rotate between stations with these items.

Hopefully you are all listening to the CD and learning the words to all the VBS songs! Or you have downloaded them on your Spotify or Apple Music (see QR codes below)!

    

Memory Verse

Our memory verse for the week is:

Make your ways known to me, Lord; teach me your paths. Psalm 25:4

We are super excited for Day 2 tomorrow where our Gamers will learn that Jesus is trustworthy! Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for fun photo updates from the week :)

Until tomorrow,

Your Game Designers Lesley Hyatt & Jodie Horn
