OPPORTUNITIES TO WORSHIP FROM HOME
Welcoming the Holy Abraham and Sarah welcomed three strangers who turned out to be the Lord. Jesus said, “If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple,” the giver will be rewarded (Matthew 10:42, NIV). An ancient Jewish proverb asserts: “Hospitality is one form of worship.” A Russian Orthodox monk is said to have told a younger one, “Sometimes I see a stranger coming up the road and I say, ‘Oh, Jesus Christ, is it you again?’” And an old Gaelic poem declares, “Often, often, often, goes the Christ in the stranger’s guise.” Sometimes we think we must do something big to serve God. Today, when you smile at someone on the street, take time to entertain a child’s question, bring cookies to a new neighbor, thank a server or clerk … know that you are serving Jesus, that you are worshiping God. —Heidi Mann

Vacation Bible School is going virtual this summer! Climb aboard for
mountains of fun at Rocky Railway! On this faith-filled adventure, kids discover
that trusting Jesus pulls them through life’s ups and downs. Our virtual VBS
will be a joint community event! We’ll join Plantation United Methodist Church
and other Broward churches for a week of interactive livestreaming.
Virtual VBS will be the week of July 27th – 31st, 6:30-8:00pm. We’ll all tune into
the livestream through the Plantation UMC website. If you miss a livestream,
you can watch it any time after on the church’s website. (Links will be sent at a
later date.)
The livestreams will be engaging and interactive. Each child will receive a “Stay-
on-Track Pack,” which contains supplies for them to participate in the day’s
activities. Please contact your church’s coordinator for more information about
how to register and receive the “Stay-on-Track Pack”.
Virtual VBS is for ages 3 through completed 5th grade. Families are encouraged
to participate in the Virtual VBS together. Keep in mind that preschool-aged
children will need help with some of the at-home activities.
For those churches registering through Plantation UMC’s website:
Registration will start the week of June 7th. Go to www.plantationumc.org/vbs.
Cost is $15 to cover the cost of the Stay-on-Track packs.
The Board of Properties, led by their Chairperson, Donna Swift is rehabilitating the church grounds. These last two weeks they have been planting the entire University Dr. side of the church. A week or so ago they removed a lot of scrub palms, rotten roots and debris. There will be some much-needed tree trimming, lawn restoration and power washing.

“Stay-at-Home” mode…. Caring for our Father’s House
