Seven Sorrows to host VBS, open house
Seven
Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary (SSBVM) Catholic Church, 360 E. Water St., Middletown, will present vacation Bible school (VBS), themed “Journey Off the Map,” from Monday, July 24, through Friday, July 28, from 8:45 a.m. to noon. VBS is open to children in prekindergarten through fifth grade.
This year’s VBS will be centered around Isaiah 30:21, which says in part, “This is the way; walk in it.” Participants will sing and dance, make crafts, play games and spend time in prayer.
Youngsters will learn that Jesus is the ultimate guide who helps people navigate the twists and turns and obstacles of life. They will hear examples of heroes in faith.
The daily themes will be “Know Your Guide” on July 24; “Follow Your Guide” on Tuesday, July 25; “Trust Your Guide” on Wednesday, July 26; “Stay on Track” on Thursday, July 26; and “Keep Looking” on July 28.
For more information and to register, visit www.seven sorrowsschool.comand choose the “Vacation Bible School” box on the home page. Students in sixth through eighth grades are also invited to participate as junior counselors.
On the last day of VBS, SSBVM Catholic School, which is a parochial elementary school serving students in prekindergarten through eighth grade, will hold an open house from 11:30 a.m. to noon.
See Seven Sorrows pg 2
VBS will include interactive activities (left photo) and arts and crafts (right photo).
Prospective families are welcome to tour the school at that time, regardless of their VBS attendance. VBS attendees will enjoy a scavenger hunt through the school building with their families during the open house.
Those who are unable to attend the open house may also schedule a tour by calling the school at 717-944-5371. More information about the open house and VBS can be found at www.facebook .com/ssbvmschool.
