Rainforest Falls: Exploring the Nature of God
This week we are in the midst of all the activities of Vacation Bible Camp. As we explore the nature of God, we also have opportunity to learn about one another. The rainforest is a wonderful example in consideration of God’s creation. The character in the opening skit has the following line: “The rainforest has incredible biodiversity. We scientists call it a “hyperdiversity hotspot.” It has cloud forests, swamps, beaches, coastal mangroves…” The leader guide also tells us: “God created rainforests to be our planet’s powerhouse. Though rainforests occupy a tiny percentage of Earth’s surface, half of the planet’s terrestrial animals find shelter there. Rainforest plants are a source of lifesaving medicine. And rainforests are often called “the lungs of the planet,” purifying the air we breathe. Rainforests are a refuge, rich, and restorative. They’re lifegiving and lifesaving.” Join us this coming Sunday as we share the songs and lessons of this past week.
