Children in our community are invited to climb aboard for mountains of fun at  “ROCKY  RAILWAY”  Vacation Bible School, hosted by Blaine Christian Church, Monday, August 9 - Thursday, August 12, 2021, from 6 - 8:10 pm each evening.

Children, ages 3 - 6th grade completed, are welcome to enjoy the  BEST  week of the summer at no cost.  Pre-K and Kindergarten age children will enjoy activities designed especially for them in “Little Kids Depot” Pre-school.

Registration is each night starting at 5:40 pm at the church.  Blaine Christian Church is located at 7018 Putney Road (corner of Joyfield and Putney Roads), in Arcadia.

Based on the theme of “Jesus’ Power Pulls Us Through”, during “ROCKY  RAILWAY”  Vacation Bible School, children will discover on this faith - filled adventure that trusting God will pull them through life’s ups and downs.

They will make new friends, explore the Imagination Station and KidVid Cinema, enjoy Loco Motion Games, make cool crafts to take home, sing fun songs during Sing And Play Express, and enjoy Chew Chew Snacks.

Since everything is designed to be hands-on, it is recommended that children dress in play clothes.

During their four days of fun, children will learn about giving and helping others by donating non-perishable food items each evening to help Benzie Area Christian Neighbors (BACN), located in Benzonia, provide food for those in need in our county.  There will also be a change jar for children to give donations to BACN.

On Sunday, August 15th, at 10 am, the children will wrap up their Vacation Bible School experience by singing their songs and sharing what they learned during a combined worship service.  This is open to the public.
