Weird Animals Vacation Bible School at Faith Lutheran Church A Big Success

            Over 200 youth and 124 volunteers from Clive, West Des Moines, Waukee, Urbandale and Johnston participated in the Weird Animals Vacation Bible School, held at Faith Lutheran Church’s annual Vacation Bible School, on June 8-12 in Clive, Iowa.

            The participants donated over $785.00 in coins to purchase a gift for the Kifula Lutheran Church in Ugweno, Tanzania, saw some live insects from a naturalist with the Polk County Conservation board, learned about the stories of Jesus and the lepers, the Samaritan woman and the well, Ananias and Saul, Jesus washing his disciples’ feet and Christ’s redeeming work on the cross. Participants played games with their friends and did arts-and-crafts activities and learned to look for evidence of God all around them. This Vacation Bible School was a breed apart!
