The stage is set literally, for
Vacation Bible School to take place
next week at Huron Chapel in
Auburn. Every year a particular
country is highlighted and this year
it is Norway. The stage at
Huron Chapel is set up with the
kind of houses and trees one
would expect to find in Norway.
Heading up Vacation Bible School
for the first time is Julie Garland.
She and her husband Andrew have
been an absolute blessing in the
Huron Chapel church family. This
young couple is not content to just
take a seat on Sunday mornings.
They are involved in missions,
nursery, small group ministry, Julie
plays piano on one of the worship
teams, Andrew is an Elder in the
church and now they can add
Vacation Bible School co-ordinator
to their list.
I hope God will allow me the
pleasure to be present on that day
when He welcomes them into
heaven so I can cheer them on as
God says those highly anticipated
words every Christian wants to hear,
"Well done, good and faithful
servant; you were faithful over a few
things, I will make you ruler over
many things. Enter into the joy of
your Lord." One piece of interesting

side trivia: Julie's parents are also a
pastor and wife named, Mark and
Glenda.
"Last year 170 kids came out to
Vacation Bible School and it looks
like we are on track with
registrations for the same amount
this year," Garland said. With the
theme being on Norway, she told me
the children will be doing some fun
things like having a viking photo
shoot where kids will be able to
dress up like vikings and have their
picture taken. For crafts they can
make viking shields and viking axes.
There will also be the opportunity to
make some jewellery and do some
painting as well.
One of the highlights for this year
is a team of graffiti artists who will
be here on Thursday to teach and
work with the kids in this art form.
Later that evening there will be a
barbecue at the church for the
children and the parents of registered
children where these graffiti artists
will put on a show demonstrating
their craft in action.
Eighty volunteers from the church
are stepping forward to pull off
Vacation Bible School next week.
Every year I am personally amazed
by the fact that men will use their
holiday time or take time off work to
come and help out at the Vacation
Bible School.
Parents can visit huronchapel.com
and register their children ahead of
time will receive a CD with all the
songs the children will be learning
and singing plus a special T-shirt for
this week. All the fun runs July 4-8,
beginning at 9:30 a.m.
