GLOW: Songs of His Light for VBS!

Get ready to shine bright this summer! For this special feature, we've prepared a radiant collection of songs packed with fun, upbeat kids music, designed especially for Vacation Bible School! With catchy melodies, simple lyrics, and powerful truths, these songs will help children understand and live out Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
