The summer blockbuster is back. Grab your kids and get registered for the annual free Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Chapel Vacation Bible School July 11-15 from 9-11:30 a.m. at the base Chapel Center.
Parents of all faiths can register their kids ages 4 to 12 for this year’s fun, filled with music, crafts, treats and adventure.
“The purpose of Vacation Bible School is to have a fun atmosphere, to have the kids come and learn about God, meet new friends and have a good time,” said Peggy Eyler, Protestant religious education coordinator at JBAB and co-event coordinator.
Registration is available Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 p.m. and on the weekends after each service.
This years’ theme for the program will be “Cave Quest” as the kids go on adventures to find God.
The kids will be put into five groups based on age and grade. Each day they will be taught a different bible point, with the rest of the days activities centered around that point.
At the end of the school, on July 15, the chapel will have a free picnic for the parents and kids.
“Families can come enjoy that closing with their kids,” Eyler added. “They get to see what they’ve learned all week, and they leave here singing the songs throughout the summer.”
The school, Eyler added, is a great way for new kids on base to meet and make new friends.
Parents are also encouraged to enjoy the festivities by attending each days opening and closing ceremonies and by volunteering to help the school.
