King of Kings hosts VBS

DICKSON, Alta. - In July of this year, King of Kings Lutheran Church invited the children of the community (ages 4-12) to Vacation Bible School at the church in Dickson. Many accepted the invitation and joined in the fun for five days of song, stories, snacks, and crafts!

The theme this year was “Rocky Railway: Jesus’ Power Pulls Us Through.” Planning for the event began in March. As time went on and registrations were rolling in, it became clear that more supplies would have to be ordered.

Approximately 80 children attended each day, along with 25 youth and adult volunteers. The church was vibrant and lively, and many of the stations were held outdoors under tents. The congregation’s prayers were answered and the sun shone for the entirety of the week.

Families who attended the VBS were asked to bring donations of nonperishable food for the Spruce View and District Food Bank, and more than 400 lbs of food was collected. The week concluded with a free barbeque for the children, their families, and volunteers.

God’s Word and love was spread that week, and the church prays that it will continue to shine in the hearts of all the children who attended.
