VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Your child is invited to join us for a week of faith-filled activities and excitement at our Vacation Bible School.  It will be held June 24-June 28 from 9:00 a.m-Noon at Our Lady of the Eucharist Parish, North Main St., Pittston and is sponsored by Our Lady of the Eucharist and St. John the Evangelist Parishes.  All children entering Kindergarten through Grade 5 are welcome.  To avoid any problems with food allergies, the children are asked to bring their own snack each day. We will put our faith into action by having a collection of designated items in support of the Care and Concern Ministries sponsored by St. John the Evangelist Parish.  A list of suggested items will be distributed on the first day of Bible School.  We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the program.  Students entering grades 6 and higher can serve as small group leaders.  High school students can serve as assistant site directors.  (You can receive 15 hours of service time.)  Adults can help as storytellers, crafts directors, games coordinators and other areas.  Please call Sister Mary Ann Cody, IHM at 654-0263 and leave your name and phone number if you can help any or all days. Anyone who would like to donate water, drinks (juices) or monetary donations can do so at the Parish Office.  Come and join in the fun!
