Newletter article for April:

This week we had 20 children and youth at our annual Midwinter Break Vacation Day, with 6 more people joining us at the waterpark.

During our morning worship time I shared the following with the group:

When we go away on a vacation we do not leave God at home. God is with us always. As we unpack our suitcases at our vacation destination there are reminders there to help us remember that God is with us everywhere we go.

Many times we bring our own alarm clock. That can be our reminder to make time for God each day while on vacation.

As we unpack our clothes we can remind ourselves to put on the armor of God, be clothed in God, and be prepared to do God’s work wherever we are.

Our money is a reminder to set aside money for God. We can give an offering at a church we are visiting or save some money to give at offering time when we get back home.

Pack your Bible so you have it to read or when you see the Bible in your room let it be a reminder to give time to God on vacation. Our bishop has challenged us to reading and praying for 30 minutes every day, even on vacation.

When you unpack your swimsuit let it remind you that God wants you to be ready to help and serve. Be aware of the little ways you can help others. Our swimsuit is packed for a trip so we are ready to go swimming. Let is remind us to be ready to serve God.
Always remember God is with us, even on vacation.
