It was once again time for Daily Vacation Bible School. Every - week day approximately 65 children came to enjoy the variety of activities provided. After opening exercises the children moved on to individual classes for Bible study, songs, games, refreshments and crafts. This bee hive of activity was supervised by 8 teachers, 10' helpers and various other people in different capacities. The highlight of the week was when the children were taken to the Applewood Home for the Handicapped in the Veltri Complex. It was a wonderful sight to see the two groups make friends and play with each other, because when the physical differences were overlooked we realized they were all just "children". Each day the children brought in collection which at the end of the two weeks totalled $164.46 and allowed us to purchase some equipment and toys for our friends at Applewood On Friday, church basement crowded because parents and other visitors had been invited to share in the closing programme. At the end of the two weeks it was wonderful to see how much the children had learned about the theme "Come Follow Jesus" and it is hoped that their lives have been somehow touched by their knowledge of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour.
