VBS raises $960 for local Syrian families

“What a great week we had at Vacation Bible School (VBS) this summer,” state organizers of the program.

From July 11 to 15, 195 children participated in Drayton.

“Thanks so much to all who volunteered to make this wonderful program happen, without you we wouldn’t be able to run such a successful program,” organizers stated.

Over 100 volunteers from various churches helped out and organizers thanked them and also those who “prayed, donated food items, helped with decorations, or simply just sent your son or daughter.”

The week delivered a great deal of singing, laughing, dancing, snacking, playing and crafting each day.

“It was very evident if you stepped in the building that there was a lot of learning going on through fun activities,” organizers stated.

The children attending VBS also supported local Syrian refugee families, raising $960 to purchase grocery gift cards for the families.

“We pray that the boys and girls remember that Jesus lights the way,” organizers stated.

Next year’s VBS runs from July 10 to 14, and the theme is “Maker Fun Factory…Created by God, Built for a Purpose!”
