 Good afternoon, Pastor David. Hey, John. Welcome to Unfiltered. Pastor, today I wanted to ask you, what's the importance of having such things like VBS or Vacation Bible School? You know, when you have children who are one in need of socialization, need a relationship after the COVID thing, where children were masked and incapable of spending time with, playing with, speaking to other children, it was very destructive for them. It was destructive for their emotional well-being. And it was so terrible in some cases. Some children even ended their lives. And I'm not speaking about, you know, older kids, high school age. I'm talking about hearing stories of children who were less than 10 years old who were so depressed and afraid and so lacking of any human contact that they actually, they took their own lives. So I see the VBS as a very important, very, very important time for the children to be able to be kids, to have opportunities to sing songs together, to play games together, to be taught about the Lord. And so we've had a number of kids here on campus for the last few days. And I'm in my office and I can hear them as they're singing and as they're cheering. And my heart just is so blessed by that because they're having an opportunity to have fellowship and their emotional and social needs to be met, John. So I think that's very important, but I especially believe it's important because it is founded on Bible stories and the reality of faith in Christ and that to me is a blessing. And so VBS is something that I think is a very good and very important part of our church. We've been having vacation Bible schools for many years now and it's suiting the purpose. The children need to get out of their houses. They need to get away from their iPads and iPods and all of that. Get out of the computer. They need to go outside. They need to laugh and play. They need to be with other kids and they need to do so under supervision. There's a lot of kids who are left alone at home all day long. The only thing they have is a TV set or a computer. So here the kids have been gathering by great numbers. And we've been very blessed to see them hearing about the Lord. We will celebrate birthdays and it's just great, John. So it's been a great week. Well, you know, even the amazing thing about it is the servants that have come in and have taken their week vacation that they've planned for years. And we're having quite a number of servants that have come and given up their vacation time to come spend with the children here at the church. You know, I'm so blessed to see that. One of the people that are in our church that have been serving the Lord through ministering to the kids actually drive from the high desert every day. They take their vacation or a portion of their vacation. They drive down here and every day of the week they help to oversee and run the VBS. And we have well over 500 volunteers who are here serving and helping the children. And I'm just blessed by that, John, to see the heart to invest in the lives of children and the ministry here to those kids. Great blessing. Amen. Well, thank you guys for tuning in. Pastor, thank you for sharing that. Just a reminder that we do have our church services at 8.30 and 10.45 on Sunday morning. Pastor Dave, you're taking us through Acts chapter six snapshots of Acts. And so I want to invite you guys to come out and join us. And then on Sunday afternoon immediately after second service, we have our Israel meeting, informational meeting in the sanctuary. If you want to come check it out, have questions or want to register, we'll be there answering any questions that you may have. Pastor, thank you again for joining us. Of course. Thank you guys for tuning in and God bless you.
