Announcements
God provided us with a double rainbow rhe first night of VBS 2026
The rainbow first appears in Genesis 9:12–17 as God’s covenant sign with Noah after the Flood, symbolizing His promise never again to destroy the earth by flood. It represents God’s mercy, grace, and faithfulness.
The Shekinah glory refers to God’s visible presence among His people. In Ezekiel 1:28, the prophet describes seeing “the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day” as the likeness of the glory of the LORD. In Revelation 4:3, a rainbow encircles God’s throne, symbolizing His majesty and holiness.
The Shekinah glory is frequently associated with a rainbow, a creation that only God can bring forth. Given that a double rainbow is such a rare and breathtaking sight, we, as believers, embrace the idea that Monday evening represented a remarkable display of God’s presence—a time when His glory was revealed to us in an extraordinary manner.
