Read Psalm 37:3

Proverbs 3:5 is a favorite Scripture to many believers. Another Scriptural giant on trust is John 14: 1. Bishop Claude Rouse, Sr. held dear Psalm 26:1 and would sing before or after preaching a commentary on the Word: "Trust In The Lord". 

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is still favored around the United States of America as a summertime opportunity to teach elements of faith to our children and youth. Many experiences today provide a chance for youth to mentor children as they assist adults in VBS. United Methodist Church Huntington-Cold Spring Harbor has such an awarding VBS with adult and youth workers teaching children using visuals, crafts, songs, activities, etc. to enhance the enjoyment of learning in the Christian faith.

One of the best letters a pastor may receive concerning VBS was emailed as follows:
SKY...EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD! 2012 VBS THEME!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY - WEDNESDAY, JULY 4th

May you all be safe as you make plans and approach a very favorite holiday for all Americans! United Methodist Church Huntington-Cold Spring HarborAnd as you pray, pray for our Church, especially during this week as we have experienced some unexpected expenses with the Lift a vator, Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall air conditioning and the lower level Dihumidifier. Expenses that unfortunately have not been budgeted in the current expense. So we continue praying, that this too, we shall once again overcome!
God Bless Us - One and All!

The experience on Sunday was above and over expectations. There was great joy as dancing, singing, clapping, waving and tearing filled the experience of worship, while the recapping of VBS filled the atmosphere following Holy Communion.
Trusting God and leading the next generation into trusting God has never been sweeter at United Methodist Church Huntington-Cold Spring Harbor.
Agape!

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us and guide all people into trusting God. Amen.
