PREECEVILLE — The Preeceville Trinity United and the Sturgis Grace United Church hosted a United Church Vacation Bible School that attracted approximately 40 children from the Grace and Trinity United churches from July 27 to 31.
"The fun week was open to all children in both communities," stated a representative. "The theme for the school this year was God’s Great Get Together in the African Savannah”. It featured lessons, games, healthy snacks, and technology. The program was free and open to children four years old to Grade 7,” a release stated.
The program was all about being good neighbours, using a different bible story each day with that theme, as well as imagining travel to a different country and learning something about how that culture helped with being good neighbours. Approximately 25 children were registered, with daily attendance ranging from 18 to 24. There were 11 daily leaders and several others who helped with decorating, set up, and clean up in addition to the daily leaders.
The program was instructed by volunteers from the congregation and community.
