Church to offer VBS day camp

Middletown First Church of God, 245 W. High St., Middletown, will present a vacation Bible school (VBS) day camp on Monday, July 10, through Friday, July 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. VBS camp will include Bible lessons, crafts, games, snacks, lunch and afternoon activities.

This year's theme is "The Battle Belongs to the Lord." Attendees will learn how God was faithful to His people through different battles. Some examples are Joshua and the battle of Jericho, David and Goliath and Gideon from Judges chapter 7, as well as Christ, who overcame death through His resurrection. Children will also learn how they can equip themselves to live in the world by using the "Armor of God" - truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the spirit of God and prayer.

A carnival will be held on July 10, featuring carnival games and activities. Water Day will take place on Tuesday, July 11. There will be a water slide available, and youngsters will enjoy tie-dyeing, games and ice cream sundaes.

A field trip to Conoy Park East in Bainbridge is planned for Wednesday, July 12. There will be a picnic lunch, an opportunity for youngsters to visit the playground and nature activities.

On July 13, VBS camp will include time for swimming at the Middletown Swim Club, 1100 N. Union St., Middletown. Parents will be asked to drop off their children at the pool, and the group will then walk back to the church.

The annual VBS talent show will be held on July 14. All children are welcome to participate. A closing program will be held for parents at 2:30 p.m. Children will sing songs and recap what they learned during VBS. An ice cream social will follow the program.

VBS is for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. There will be a registration fee per child, which includes all of the activities. Scholarships are available.
