Kids had a fun-filled week at VBS!

By Joan Janzen

Thirty-eight children registered for Vacation Bible School at New Life Community Church in Kindersley during the week of July 15th to 19th. Kids from Kindergarten to Grade 5 participated in the program every morning from 9 a.m. until noon. The theme was: scuba diving into friendship with God.

Abby Lee and Kelly Froese were just two of the volunteers who kept 38 children engaged in a fun learning experience at a week-long Vacation Bible School. The program was held every morning at New Life Community Church in Kindersley from July 15th to 19th.

Abby Lee, VBS co-ordinator, said it was the most children they had registered. “And in the eight years I’ve been involved, it has run the smoothest ever,” she said.

Their smooth sailing could be due to a group of willing volunteers who came on board. At least seven adults and seven youth, along with additional volunteers, joined together to ensure the kids enjoyed a fun-filled learning experience.

“We’ll be having our first outdoor water game today,” she added. And water games were welcomed as temperatures climbed up to 28 degrees.

Along with the games, their mid-week lesson was “God is a friend we can trust”. It was just one of the lessons taking the kids into a deep dive into friendship with God, and helping them experience His never-ending love.
