Saint James Catholic Church Vacation Bible School took place the week of June 20 through 24. With strong numbers again this year, we hosted 135 children pre-K through 6th grade and 65 volunteers. Of these participants, 25 children from grades 5 and 6 along with 5 adult volunteers worked at Feeding America packing hundreds of bags of food. This group collected approxiamately 150 personal hygiene items and spent several hours at Warm Blessings cleaning and organizing.
During the week the young participants were versed in the theme of “Jesus Light of the World” while also being challenged to get excited about their faith. Storytellers bring the Bible story to life by transforming their environment in a way that brings the story to life. There were many crafts, fun and games throughout the week for the children and volunteers alike.
