Approximately a dozen youngsters between the ages of four and 12 enjoyed a week of faith-fostering Bible stories, inspirational songs, fun arts and crafts and attention-grabbing science experiments at the Small Cloud Vacation Bible School held July 12-16 at 12420 Pear Lane in Wilton.
The theme for the weeklong program was “The God of the Impossible.” According to Small Cloud teacher Margie Seely, the theme reflected the Bible passage Mark 10:27 that explains that many things may be impossible for man, but that with God all things are possible. “What we would like the children to take with them is that anything they face that seems impossible, God is bigger than that,” Seely said.
Science experiments and craft projects were directly related to the Bible lesson for the morning. While learning about the “impossible” rescue of Noah and the Ark, students also experimented with rainbows and producing homemade geysers by dropping mints into liter bottles of soda.
The curriculum also included lessons on the “escape of Moses crossing the Red Sea and Joshua’s victory at Jericho. Students were then provided with a lunch that they assisted in preparing before leaving for the day.
The weeklong program concluded with an evening presentation for parents and students on Friday, July 16. The school is currently taking registration for grades kindergarten through 12th for the 2010-2011 school year. For more information please call 916-687-8329.
