Vacation Bible School around Missouri Union – African Connections
Under the Baobab tree after a great VBS week for Macon County Larger Parish
Sharing the Gospel–A Road Trip for Giraffes–Yes, it really was Rev. Mary Ellen Waychoff driving a giraffe, an elephant, and other African animals to New Cambria July 13! DCE Marilyn Hofmann from FPC Jeff City loaned Jonathan Giraffe and other large animal cut outs to Macon County Parish for their VBS July 18-23 Thanks to the Dodson Family at FPC Jeff City for creating and sharing these wonderful gifts! 28 Children, 12 Youth helpers and numerous adults came together under the Baobab tree at New Cambria UCC. The Macon County VBS offering went to the Festival of Sharing. Themes were: Trust, Love, Follow, Care and Share. Next Stop for Baobab “critters” is First Presbyterian-Columbia July 26-30.
Baobab Blast at Range Line was great fun and exciting learning for 34 kids and helpers! Curriculum includes animals from Africa (like 2 giraffe sighted at the Church near Houstonia!) along with science activities, Bible stories, songs, crafts and snacks. Each month Range Line, Longwood, and Curryville churches support the African Immigrant Fellowship in Columbia. Range Line’s VBS offering went to the Agape African Fellowship in Columbia and Heifer International to buy goats for farmers in Haiti. Betty Lou (Dotson) Kriesel directed VBS at Range Line. Trinity-Columbia, First-Columbia, and Lake Church-Osage Beach also support Agape African Fellowship. Read more »
