in Yorktown, (located on the corner of Curry and Gomer Streets), hosted its 9th annual Vacation Bible School this week.

This year’s theme, Sky, taught the children about having faith and trust. The annual program attracted 41 children from 6 different churches.

Run entirely by volunteers, 23 staff members dedicate their time and energy each day for the program. Children learned Bible stories, songs, played games, made crafts and had a fun “Bible-inspired” snack each day, which coordinated with the day’s theme. 

The family evening program was held on Thursday, July 12 at 7 p.m. when children and program’s characters sang song and put on a skit. The Church sanctuary was transformed to look like the sky with blue tablecloths representing the sky, fluffy clouds, hanging mini planes and a life-size biplane which rested on the alter. There was a packed house for the evening program, comprised of family members and friends.  

Program's director is Maria Hughes who takes the time and dedication in coordinating the program each summer.

Vacation Bible School 2013 will run from July 8 to July 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration forms for next year can be requested by contacting Grace Lutheran Church at 914.245.5737.
