This summer, the local churches have once again combined their efforts to organize Vacation Bible School.
This year’s theme is Everest – Conquering Challenges with God’s Mighty Power.
Vacation Bible School will run from July 6 to 10 at the Drayton Reformed Church at 74 Wellington Street. It is offered to all children in the community who have completed JK to those who have completed Grade 5. Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a great way to feel a part of your community, meet other kids, and learn about Jesus.
Each day, kids participate in small groups, called Climbing Crews, and discover God’s power through stories, games, crafts, and even snacks.
VBS is offered free – thanks to the generosity of the local churches.
For our mission project this summer, the group will be partnering with the Canadian Bible Society in a project called the Bread of Life in Peru. They will be encouraging the children to bring in money to help provide a daily nutritious breakfast and Bible classes with age-appropriate materials for Peruvian children. On the last day of VBS, July 10, at 10:45am, the community is invited to the church for the closing program.
Community members are encouraged to register children to be a part of VBS or to help out by volunteering. Anyone not able to volunteer but still wanting to help could donate a gift card or stamps from the Drayton Foodmarket to help buy snacks for the week. They can be given to Tracy Kabbes or dropped off at the Drayton Reformed Church office. To register or volunteer go to www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/ez/draytonvbs. For high school students, the experience can count toward volunteer hours.
Vacation Bible school is run by all the local churches together, so may be directed to any of the church’s VBS representatives, or contact Tracy Kabbes at kabbespatch@hotmail.com or 519-638-3349.
