Hamilton Holds 'Adventures With Paul' VBS

By Judy Fowler, October 09, 2014

Hamilton Church had an exciting Vacation Bible School with 47 children attending the "Adventures With Paul" program.

There was a nature time each day with Mark Harris as the ranger. Every day the children got to enjoy live animals like chickens, ducks, goats, sheep and a donkey.

Bill Whitney, Hamilton Church pastor, surprised the children when he arrived dressed like the apostle Paul.

Active games, interesting crafts, inspiring Bible stories, healthy snacks and exuberant singing kept everyone happily involved each day.
