All Kinds of Kids

Each child coming to FCC’s Scuba has a name; each child has a unique story. Years ago I remember bringing my five year-old daughter, Christa, to VBS just two months after her older sister passed away from cancer. I was excited for her to engage in a fun week filled with God’s love. Many of the kids coming to FCC’s Scuba are weighed down by heavy things. Some have parents going through divorce. Some kids are extremely shy and are not yet sure about coming. Some kids deal with ADHD and/or anxiety and can struggle in group settings. One child has a life threatening allergy. Many have never stepped into a church. 

Next week as we share daily Bible points, everyone will respond by saying, “Thanks, God!” Our Bible point next Thursday will be God is a friend for everyone. May that be evident as we engage with kids at FCC’s Scuba. God made and loves all kinds of kids. As we look ahead to sharing this fin-tastic week with over 100 kids, let’s say “Thanks, God!” for every child and pray we can help each one know and become more like Jesus.
