Road Trip: God Is With Us When We're Lonely

Today we continue our worship series, “Road Trip: On the Go with God.” Each year, we spend a few weeks before Vacation Bible School taking a look at the stories our kids will delve into at VBS. Tomorrow, our kids will be going on a figurative road trip, and discover that God’s presence is everywhere. The theme verse for the whole week is Joshua 1:9— “The Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” And each day, they’ll explore stories from the Old and New Testament that show this truth. They’ll learn that God is with us on our journeys—when we’re joyful or lonely and when we go off course; God is with us near and far. Yes, this theme is for kids, but the truths they’ll be learning are for everyone. We each need the reminder that no matter where we go or what we experience on our journeys, God is with us. Today we turn our attention to the story of Zacchaeus
