It’s hard to believe it but we’re already beginning July this week, and Vacation Bible School is on again at Christ Episcopal Church in Tyler. For parents like myself summer can sometimes be a mixed blessing. The freedom to travel a bit and break out of the routine is great, but too much down time presents a problem, namely how to keeps the kids occupied. Enter the local church community. Christ Church has been putting on a VBS program for quite a few years now and they’ve always been really well done. And not only are the kids having fun and keeping occupied, they’re learning the solid Christian values I want to try to build into my son at home.
This year’s theme is “Weird Animals, Where Jesus Love is one of a kind. Come join this zoo crew!” The times are July 14th to the 19th, from nine in the morning until noon. The deadline to register is July 7th. It will be held at All Saints Episcopal School. The address is 2695 S SW Loop 323, in Tyler.
