Today was our first day of VBS! It was a day of introductions with the kids and getting to know one another. We started by making our way to David’s Ju Jitsu gym where we had time for worship, teaching and Ju Jitsu! Our fruit of the Spirit teaching today started with Love. David shared many different ways in how we can show Christ’s love in every aspect of our lives. Afterwards, made our way back to church where we had a Greek artist teach us how to work with oil pastels. We then ended the day with pool time and games. The Lord has tremendously blessed us just from day one! Continue to pray for our team, the Glyfada leaders and the children as well!

1 Corinthians 13
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poorand give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
