VBS Emerald Crossing 2026
From Pastor Robert
Don’t forget to invite neighbors and relatives to our Emerald Crossing Vacation Bible School, this week May 31–June 3, 6–8 p.m., with a special Wednesday Family Night for all ages. There will be engaging groups for children and adults, in both English and Spanish.
Kids will “travel” across a playful Irish landscape—through quiet valleys, beside “still waters,” and over “emerald” hills—as they unpack each phrase of Psalm 23 in ways they can see, feel, and remember. Each day will highlight a rich truth: the Lord provides, the Lord protects, the Lord is with us, the Lord leads us home.
Through fun Bible stories, lively music with a Celtic flair, creative crafts (like “sheep” and “staff” projects), and high‑energy games inspired by Irish countryside life, children will learn about Jesus, the Good Shepherd who knows their name, calms their fears, and guides their steps. Wednesday night will be a family night with games and food for all. You won’t want to miss the drama and skits.

Gospel Partner of the Month: Middle East Ministries It is our joy to support one of our High Pointe families serving in the Middle East. We will not refer to them by name to protect their identity and location, but you may pray for them as you work through our membership directory.
Please pray that the Lord will give them favor and fruitfulness in their work. Pray that the Lord may send a like-minded and similar life-stage family (or two) to serve alongside them. And pray that we would care for and encourage them well.
On-Call Pastor To better care for you, High Pointe, we have an “on-call” pastor available for emergencies after office hours. To reach the on-call pastor, call 512-837-7725, extension 1.
