As many of you know, the North Campus has been taken over this week by the children’s ministry. It is that special time of the year where we all get “Powered Up” for Second’s amazing POWER UP Super Hero VBS! It has been fun to watch all of the pastors, staff, and volunteers come together for the same mission: to share Jesus with Second’s Kids. However, as a youth minister, it has been even more fun to watch our countless teenagers step in and serve alongside the adults.
Vacation Bible School offers many opportunities for our Second Students to lead. Every day over 2,300 children come together for the “Big Show,” where dozens of students lead them in worship through the Jump Team. Additionally, our JHigh kids are serving preschoolers daily as the GIGL team dances, works puppets, and overall just loves on these precious kids!! Our North Campus students serve as co-teachers in the classrooms from age 5 – 6th grade. These students have led in everything from the cheers, to the Bible Stories, to the games, and plenty more. Also, a handful of our upperclassmen students were chosen to serve on the Rec Team this summer. The Rec Team leads the games for our VBX (5th-6th grade) program every day. It has been exciting to see these particular student leaders manage game stations, and of course, hand out the coveted spirit stick at then end of each day.
Second’s VBS program is certainly second to none. However, our church is only able to pull of such an amazing program because of the hundreds of volunteers, including our students. I am thankful to serve in a church that not only loves kids, but also loves students enough to provide them opportunities to lead.

I encourage everyone who reads this to come to Worship this weekend, so you can capture a small taste of what God has been doing this week at VBS.
