Vacation Bible School collects school supplies for Iraqi kids.
It fit perfectly into the Bible school's "Lighthouse Kids" theme which reflects Ephesians 5:8, which teaches children "to shine God's light" on the darkness in the world.
"We have a big canoe that we've brought into the sanctuary," Betty Jo says, "and we have an ocean scene, and we're trying to fill our canoe with our kits."
So the children are busy packing a "school" kit with paper, a 12-inch ruler, pencils, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, scissors and construction paper or a "health" kit with a washcloth, towel, bar of soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, adhesive bandages and a nail clipper.
This year's Vacation Bible School started last Sunday and will end tonight, "and we should have our boat full by then," she says. Each evening's session has opened at 5:30 with a discussion "of what we're doing and where the kits are going and why."
