Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS reveals that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!

Spirit of Adoption
SCRIPTURE: Acts 2:1-21, Psalm 104:24-34, 35b, Romans 8:14-17
Suddenly, the doors are open! That’s what Pentecost has done!
In this moment, in this event, we are empowered to realize the promise that was offered at Easter. We all know that the curtain in the temple was torn in two, and God’s heart was opened on Good Friday. We know that the gift was sealed on Resurrection morning. But closed and locked doors were still keeping the followers from living into the new reality.
Fear reigned in too many hearts until the wind and the fire of Pentecost.
Now, there is access and accessibility. Now, there is a way to approach. Now, there is openness that keeps no one away. In this short series, we embrace openness and claim the gift given to us.

Crowned With Glory and Honor
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 8, Romans 5: 1-5, John 16: 12-15
Trinity Sunday is about God. But the God we worship is a God who chooses to be known in relationship, and therefore, it is about us as well. Trinity Sunday is not about the concept of God, but the experience of God. For that, we give thanks and praise.
