A NOTE FROM PASTOR TIM
Last week was a busy fun-filled week as I was with our pre-school children every day doing a mini VBS (Vacation Bible School for those that don’t know what VBS stands for). I loved seeing the kids each day and spending time with them, singing, praying, and telling them a story about God.
One of the things during our chapel time was to read from a children’s book entitled “What is God like?” by Matthew Paul Turner. It is also beautifully illustrated by Ying Hui Tan, (You will hear little bit about the book during this morning’s sermon). The thing that I liked was how the authors’ descriptions about God helped the young people’s minds of our children think about God in ways that they could understand. The things that made children feel safe and brave and loved are good descriptions of what God is like,
You may be wondering what God is like too. That is a good place to be in life. Wondering about God- who He is, what are Hid characteristics – are things that people have done since the beginning of time. One of the best ways to learn about our God is to read the Psalms. They are a great starting point for gleaning characteristics about God. That is one of the benefits of our current sermon series. My prayer is that we will all learn a bit more about our God as we study the Psalms together this summer.
