Red Rover, Red Rover, Let Scott Come Over!| June 2026
Calvary Family,
’ll never forget my early experiences with Vacation Bible School when Red Rover was a favorite VBS recreational activity. And of course, Scott was always able to break the human chain and rescue his imprisoned teammates (for those of you who played Red Rover, you know what I'm talking about).
Well, Red Rover wasn’t my only memory from my earliest Vacation Bible School days. I also remember the great bible stories telling me about a great God and the great love his son Jesus showed the world that included Scott. From these stories, I met some extraordinary bible characters, who soon became true heroes of the faith to me. Also, I remember meeting some amazing people - my bible teachers, music leaders, craft instructors, refreshment providers, recreational planners, and an amazing church staff. All of these people were being the hands and feet and voice and heart of Christ to me. They were undeniable proof that this Jesus was worth believing in and living for. They were letting me know that the Gospel was real and really could transform sinful hearts and lives into something extraordinarily good.
So, Calvary, now it’s our turn. Vacation Bible School will begin on June 14 this year. Now, it’s our children who will be watching, playing, listening, and learning. And hopefully, it will include some special guests, kids that you and I know from our neighborhoods, families, and community. Remember, one simple invite might change a life for eternity. Let’s be mindful of unchurched kids we know and to make VBS a priority for our own children.
It truly can be an amazing, life-changing, life transforming week for us all. So Calvary, please pray, please invite, please serve. To God be the glory!
Pastor Scott
