A Lot of Interest for Vacation Bible School in Hopedale

There is a lot of interest from the children in Hopedale for a Vacation Bible School.

The three-day bible school is being held at the Hosanna Pentecostal Church in the community.

Steven Budgell is the Pastor.

He says 35-40 children kicked things off Tuesday morning with a parade.

Nine youth from the Springdale Pentecostal Church are in the community lending a hand to the program.

Those helpers are part of Global Youth Missions.

They will be holding a community brunch and information session about drug-proofing your children Wednesday evening.

That will be followed by a community camp fire.

Organizers of the Vacation Bible School are also holding a barbeque for the registered children and their parents.

Budgell adds that it’s not too late to register your children for the program.

Registration is also being held at the Amos Comenius Memorial School Wednesday morning.
