St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church held its annual Vacation Bible School June 5-7 from 6-8 p.m. The theme this summer was \u2018Camp Firelight\u2019 and lessons focused on the bible verse \u201cWhenever I\u2019m afraid, I will put my trust in you,\u201d Psalm 56:3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vacation bible school marked a new beginning because of the fact that school is out\u00a0 and it gives us an opportunity to corral our children,\u201d stated Rev. James H. Willis, Sr., senior pastor of St. Paul MBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to coral them and give them some spiritual background because this unfriendly world will be trying to attack them but with them coming into Vacation Bible School, they were all taught on one accord and it makes an entire difference in what the rest of their summer will be like,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Students young and old learned about trusting God through difficult circumstances. The classes studied biblical figures such as Ruth and Jacob as well as accounts of Jesus\u2019 word from the Gospel. The engaging lessons encourage all attending to lean on the Lord and deepen their faith.<\/p>\n
