7 Weeks of Prayer

Hello VBS folks!

we are roughly 7 weeks away from Community VBS. Over those 7 weeks I would like to ask you to be praying for the different areas of VBS. There are many aspects we could focus on but here are 7 that I would ask you to concentrate on:

1. Family Leaders
2. Snacks
3. Crafts
4. Games
5. Bible Time
6. Teens
7. Kids

So, let's get started! We begin with the Family Leaders. In the past we referred to these leaders as "shepherds." These are the adults who will lead a group of kids (a "Roman family") from station to station. These people are vital! They are Jesus in the flesh to these children for the 4 days of VBS. Here are some prayer suggestions for our Family Leaders:

* Pray that God would draw those leaders the He desire to be involved this summer
* Pray that people would be sensitive to God's call to volunteer this summer
* Pray that a number of men (no offense ladies) would volunteer and be involved this year
* Pray that the leaders schedule would allow them to be at VBS every night and at the Unity Service Sunday
* Pray that God would help the fruits of His Spirit to be bountiful in the leaders during VBS week
* pray whatever is on your heart for these Family Leaders
* ask God to show you whatever else He would have you pray for concerning these leaders
