Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent “God gives everyone strength,” was one of the many lessons children learned this year at Vegreville United Church’s Kingdom Rock Vacation Bible School which was offered to children from Kindergarten to Grade Six on July 8 to July 11. On each morning during this VBS, children had a chance to sing and dance while later, Reegan Dubuc and Campbell Prestash zoomed in to perform a humorous skit about something they thought
would make them stronger. The rest of the morning was filled with crafts, stories, snacks, games, and indoor and outdoor activities. The mornings ended with another song and dance activity. This VBS was about where kids stand strong for God. On July 8, they learned how God’s love helps us stand strong. On July 9, they learned how family and friends help us stand strong. On July 10, they learned how prayer helps us stand strong and on July 11, they learned how trusting God helps us stand strong.
