Holy Apostles Church hosts Vacation Church School for Youth of the Parish - 06/26/24

On June 24, 25, and 26, Holy Apostles Orthodox Church in Mechanicsburg, PA, hosted their annual Vacation Church School with this year's theme being "Fishers of Men." 

Children and teens from preschool to 12th grade learned about the lives of the Holy Apostles through lessons, enactments, crafts, games, and food. The first evening's theme was “Calling the Apostles,” featuring activities such as reenacting the “Miraculous Catch of Fish” and fishing games. The second evening, themed “The Apostle's Mission,” included a reenactment of Paul and Silas’s imprisonment, water games, and Apostle-themed crafts. On the final evening, the theme “How to be Like the Apostles?” featured lessons on the Apostles' travels, fish-themed games, and crafts. The program concluded with Daily Vespers and an ice cream social following.

Special thanks were given to all the teachers and volunteers, particularly Mark and Sherry Potteiger for hosting the pool activities. Glory to God for all things!
