129 children took part in this year’s Vacation Bible School!
By Lana Knight
Peru Community Church once again opened its doors to any children (ages 3 years to 6th grade) for a venture known as Vacation Bible School held August 3rd to August 7th. Children were welcomed with open arms to attend this non-denominational celebration of Jesus and learned how important it is to “build you life upon the rock–Jesus!” In the spirit of great fellowship, St. Augustine’s Church assisted with the activities and helped make Vacation Bible School the great success it was. They extended a generous donation to help underwrite this year’s program–so thanks to St. Augustine’s parish and to ALL the people who donated so generously.
We enjoyed large numbers of children in the past (80 to 90), with a record number of 115 in 2008. This year, Peru Community Church proudly announces that 129 children took part! From morning assembly skits, to Bible science activities, to recreation, to snack, to music and dance, to Bible stories, and on to arts and crafts…all the participants had a great time! One thing that really stands out is the enthusiasm of the leaders and helpers. Their great attitudes were mirrored by the children who attended Vacation Bible School. It was a very win-win event!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the volunteers and for all the support we received. We look forward to a great VBS in 2010!
