At Celebrate the Savior VBS, children look into the Bible, God\u2019s Word, and discover that Jesus gives us the joy of eternal life with Him! Our loving God has given us so much to celebrate\u2014family, friends, food, and especially forgiveness through faith in Jesus, our Savior. As kids\u00a0\u00a0 explore five key events in the life of Jesus, they will discover how the love of Jesus fills us with joy.<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u00a0 Wise Men from the East followed a special star to the place where Jesus was born. Filled with joy, they bowed down to worship Jesus and offered Him gifts.<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u00a0 Four friends brought a man to Jesus for healing. Jesus, our best Friend, amazed everyone by healing both his body and his heart!<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u00a0 The disciples didn\u2019t know how they would feed the crowd. Jesus showed that He provides for all our needs, both for this life and for life eternal.<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u00a0 When Jesus died, His friends were filled with sadness. Then Jesus rose, and their sadness turned into joy! Jesus saves us, giving us hope and new life!<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u00a0 Jesus\u2019 followers couldn\u2019t see why He had to die. After He rose, He opened their eyes to see how He had overcome sin and death. His love gives us joy!<\/p>\n
At the center of every story is the message that God has come to save us. Every aspect of Jesus\u2019 life leads, in some way, to our salvation. We are looking forward to spending time with the kids this summer as we Celebrate the Savior, Jesus!<\/p>\n
