Free Vacation Bible School
“Weird Animals: Where Jesus’ Love is One-of-a-Kind”
Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church will be hosting “Weird Animals,” a free Vacation Bible School for children ages four to fourth grade graduates at Groton Grange Hall (located at 80 Champney St.) mornings July 7-11.
In the Bible stories each day, we will see Jesus’ love in action as he heals a group of lepers, reaches out to a needy Samaritan woman, washes the disciples’ feet and willingly goes to the cross.
We will dramatize these stories each morning when we gather together for our large group sessions. Following the skit and singing time, we will rotate in small groups through the VBS stations: Crafts, science, small group sharing, games and snacks.
Please visit Shepherd of the Valley’s web-site www.sov-lc.org where you will find the VBS registration form. The registration deadline is June 27. If you need a registration form mailed to you or for information, contact Margaret Doyle at 978-772-7095.
