Three Reasons to Bring Your Child to VBS

"Journey Off the Map" is an adventure theme
This Sunday is VBS at First Baptist Moreland. VBS is a week-long summer experience for children. When children grow up and reflect on their religious heritage, VBS is usually one of their favorite pastimes.

I remember growing up attending Shades Mountain Baptist Church and Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church's VBS every summer. They each had a different theme.

Parents should bring their children to VBS for three reasons:

1). God holds parents responsible for the spiritual upbringing of their children.
It's a sin for Christian parents to keep their children out of church. An eleven year old can't drive, how will she attend church? Even if mom and dad don't teach biblical truths to their children, they can at least bring them to church and allow someone else to teach them.

2). Daniel Ausbun and Wendy Moore are passionate about children's ministry. Isn't it exciting that children can get saved. 90% of all people who will ever get saved, will do so before they're 19 years old. 75% will decide to follow Christ before they're 15 years old. This means if your son or daughter doesn't get saved by the time they're out of high school, most likely they never will. One-fourth of all baptisms in the Southern Baptist Convention are a direct result from VBS. Vacation Bible School is essentially a week-long children's revival.

3). VBS is fun. Wendy Moore and her leadership team use a fun and creative approach to sharing the Gospel. From the penny war, pie-in-the-face, water balloon fight, costumes, candy, Papa John's Pizza - children have fun while learning about the Lord.

Your child needs to experience VBS at First Baptist Moreland! Sunday May 31 to Thursday June 4 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. 3 years old to completed 6th grade. Family Night (closing ceremony) is Sunday June 7 at 6 p.m. T-Shirts are $7 (optional). Click here to register online.

Meet Junior Hill

This Sunday at First Baptist Church of Moreland, Evangelist Junior Hill is preaching both morning services. Junior is likely Southern Baptists' most well-known evangelist. He's been in full-time evangelism since 1967. In fact, my dad heard him preach at Vinesville Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama (the church dad was raised in) in the late 1960s. Before going into full-time evangelism, he was a pastor for 11 years in Alabama and Mississippi. He's also the former first vice-president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Junior's from Hartselle, Alabama and has preached to millions of people - in thousands of churches. At 80 years old, his schedule is still full. I remember several years ago asking him to come to First Baptist Moreland for our Fall Revival, and he said he had a 3 year waiting list.

I remember during my Samford University days traveling to Southside Baptist Church in Alabaster, Alabama to hear Junior preach. I'll never forget the line to get saved during the invitation - it was actually so long it went out the back door. It's still the longest invitation I've ever experienced - we sang "Just As I Am" so many times, the music minister lost his voice and needed a sub.

Junior has a well-known sermon called, "The Valley of Baca" based on Psalm 84:6 - perhaps the best message for a discouraged friend. (listen to it here)

God gives evangelists to the church. We live in dark days and troubled times - but our Lord is still in the saving business - using evangelists for great harvests.

Will you join me in inviting people to church and join me in praying for God to move this Sunday? Hear Junior Hill at 8:30 & 11 a.m. Sunday May 17 at FBC Moreland, Georgia
