This year’s vacation bible school brought us to Promise Island. Our adventures on Promise Island taught us about five promises from God. These promises were that God promises to always be with us, promises to care for us, promises to provide for us, promises to save us, and promises to answer our prayers. With the assistance of over 25 volunteers per day and God’s guidance, wisdom and provisions Promise Island provided dinner, games, preschool and elementary school bible class, arts-n-crafts, high school and middle school bible class and an adult bible class for an entire week. Vacation Bible School is not just for the students to learn God’s Word, but also an opportunity to serve God’s people. I praise God for leading so many volunteers to this ministry year after year. It has been a blessing to see so many students grow up and graduate from class to class every year to the point where they become ministry volunteers within the Church. Seeing such spiritual growth and maturity makes it worth growing older every year to witness. Please pray for the first time visitors who were in attendance. Also pray for those who were saved. Glory be to God! Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Congratulations to all of our Graduates of 2012! What an honor and privilege to accomplish a milestone in each of their lives! We praise God for his guidance and strength in helping each of our young people accomplish their goals. For some, they are just a step further in achieving their goals. For some, they have already reached their goals and can now become who God wants them to be and can finally do what he has purposed in their lives. All of our graduates have been gifted by God in many special ways. Now it's their turn to give back to God and become his ambassadors wherever he may lead them. As Pastor Reuel prayed and dedicated each graduate, we were all reminded that the greatest "graduation" we should be anticipating would be the day when we all "graduate" into the presence of our loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
