St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Van Horne held VBS on July 25-29. Hometown Nazareth focused on Jesus’ boyhood with daily themes that included “nothing is impossible with God” (Jesus was part of a family and we are part of His family), “I have called you by name” (being named in your baptism), and “serve one another in love” (Jesus serves us at the cross).
Each day’s activities included Bible story time, craft, mission project, music, and snacks. The craft project was a small wooden church that each child assembled and decorated. The mission project was painting a book bag that will be sent to Lutheran school children at our adopted congregation in Migori, Kenya. VBS offerings were directed to disaster relief in the US.
