Huron Chapel to host Bible School next week A trip around the world Julie Garland will be the leader of this year's Vacation Bible School at Huron Chapel in Auburn. Each year, the program focuses on a new country and this year the focus is on Norway. The school runs July 4-8. (Mark Royal( photo) PEOPLE AROUND AUBURN By Mark Royal' Call 519-441-2223 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."

"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.
