VBS Relationships

The first time my oldest daughter attended Ferrysburg’s VBS, her crew leader was Elaine Knoll. That year’s VBS had a treasure theme, but one of the real treasures was the relationship established between Katelyn and Elaine throughout that week. “Grandma Elaine” was 70 years-old when she served as a crew leader that year. I can still remember watching her pull Katelyn around in a laundry basket during one of the games and seeing her help Katelyn complete her VBS booklet. After VBS week, Grandma Elaine would talk to Katelyn at church, drop a card in the mail sometimes, and occasionally meet up with her at McDonald’s. I’m forever grateful for their special relationship that formed during VBS. Please join me in praying for beautiful intergenerational relationships to form during Monumental VBS.
