made Summer 2023 amazing! InternAnabelle Linson

One of my favorite parts of the summer was the last day of Preschool VBS. By large group closing that Thursday, most of the kids had learned the words and actions to the worship songs that were played every day. We distributed light-up sticks to every child/volunteer, turned off the lights, and encouraged the kids to sing and dance their hearts out to a favorite worship song one last time. I loved seeing the child-like faith and joy in all of the preschoolers and kindergarteners while they sang about how God loves them—I know that they all believe it.
