Teen volunteers led the activity stations and adults served as crew leaders. Among the crafts were Holy Trinity shamrocks for St. Patrick, faith bracelets for St. Kateri Tekakwitha and shields for St. Michael the Archangel.
Service projects included decorating handmade cards to thank the Westmere Fire Department, creating beaded bracelets for children in local hospitals, and making origami paper cranes that displayed each VBS word of the day. We look forward to Vacation Bible School being a favorite summer tradition at Christ the King!
Lisanne Jensen is pastoral associate for Faith Formation and Youth Ministry at Christ the King Parish in Albany (Westmere).
