This summer local churches will once again combine efforts to organize Vacation Bible School (VBS).
“Imagine a world where curious kids become hands-on inventors who discover they’re lovingly crafted by God. Join us for Maker Fun Factory … Vacation Bible School!” states a press release form organizers, noting the school is open to all children, from those who have completed junior kindergarten to those who have completed Grade 5.
Vacation Bible School will run from July 10 to 14 at the Drayton Reformed Church (74 Wellington Street) .
VBS is offered free – through the generosity of the local churches.
“This is a wonderful example of how the community of Drayton can work together for the benefit of our children,” organizers state.
Kids at Maker Fun Factory will be invited to bring in donated food items for the local food bank as the mission project this year.
On the last day of VBS (July 14) at 11am the community is invited to come to the church for the closing program.
“This ministry cannot run without lots of wonderful volunteers. Think about helping for a day or two or, even better, the whole week,” organizers state, noting volunteering can count as required volunteer hours for high school students.
Anyone not able to volunteer but still wanting to help may donate a gift card from the local grocery store to help purchase snacks for the week.
They can be given to Tracy Kabbes, local church representatives or dropped off at the Drayton Reformed Church Office.
To register or volunteer go to https://vbspro.events/p/events/draytonvbs or the Drayton VBS Facebook page.
Questions may be directed to any participating church, VBS representative or Tracy Kabbes at kabbespatch@hotmail.com/519-638-3349.
