Greetings from Welland, Ontario, Canada
What a wonderful, exciting, and encouraging week we’ve experienced participating in the annual Wellandport VBS. This church may be small in number compared to many other churches, but they are mighty in spirit. And they put on a VBS that would rival many other churches four times their size.
The zeal of those leading the way and all the participating teachers is contagious. The children were pumped up every morning. They sang with enthusiasm. They entered their classes ready to learn. And left with their little hearts full of joy.
It was my privilege and pleasure to teach the adult class, which was also very well received and was a joy to teach.
So, my posts this week have highlighted the five-day theme using Paul’s various sports metaphors for “running the Christian race.” If you missed any of these posts, here they are with the live links so you can easily access them.
Sunday morning I will be preaching again at Wellandport at their 11:00 AM service. On Sunday night, I will be preaching at Jordan, Ontario, at their 5:00 PM service. This may be the oldest congregation in Ontario. Records show that Alexander Campbell preached at Jordan in 1840.
Hope you all have a great day. And a wonderful weekend.
God Bless,
Ken
