Our Sacred Sunday spiritual photo takes us to an announcement of vacation bible school. As summer vacation approaches for school children, local churches are polishing up their vacation bible school programs. Here we see the banner on West Market Street in front of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. EGYPT: Joseph's Journey from Prison to Palace is a commercial package available for purchase so that church volunteers have an effective curricula with engaging activities, crafts, and worksheets. The sign evokes a tradition that has gone on for generations: Kicking off the summer with vacation bible school. Can you imagine 5 half-day sessions of summer camp for the whopping fee of $10? If your child has the time and you have a compatible belief system, this is an opportunity that is hard to pass up.
Nice sign, nice idea.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall and see how the kids learn and enjoy.

With the demise of summer camps, they fill a need.
