Jackson VBS

Jackson Church of Christ

 

Our oldest daughter Taylor just came home from her first mission trip without us.

 

It was about a 5 or 6 hour drive to Jackson Kentucky from where we live, just outside of Nashville Tennessee. We feel that it is really important for the girls to experience as many acts of service as possible. Most of those acts occur in our own town so that make this trip even more special. We have taken her twice but because of a new baby, an old toddler and our sanity we couldn't make it this year. Thankfully her triplet friends from church invited her to go along with them.

I know from our own experience that this yearly trip to Jackson is extremely heart softening. The sweet faces of the boys and girls who are getting bussed in daily from all over the county are unforgettable. Kids who are not even old enough for Kindergarten are saying goodbye to their families and climbing in the Jackson Church of Christ bus driven by Virgil, the Minister of that congregation, to come learn about Jesus, make a craft, and share a meal.

The highlight of their VBS nights is the Friday McDonald's hamburgers & fries and the Saturday pizza. After Sunday morning worship, the ladies of the congregation provide a heart felt potluck style luncheon for all the volunteers.
