July

Attention Young Athletes (ages 4 through 12): Have you ever wished you could compete in the Olympics? Perhaps even win a gold medal? If your answer is yes, it’s time to pack up your athletic gear and head for Proclamation’s Vacation Bible School starting Monday, July 21st.

This year’s theme is Olympion. Olympion is where you can join God’s track and field team and train to run the lifelong Christian Marathon, which has a heavenly prize waiting for you that is more precious than Olympic gold!

At Olympion, each day will begin with Warm Ups from the official “Olympion Rule Book” (the Bible), followed by a march to the Arena for Opening Ceremonies. During the Rules for the Race instruction time, you will meet Volly the Vulture, Joshua, Rahab and others who will challenge you to put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Throughout Olympion, you and your fellow Athletes will cheer each other on as you do your best in Olympion’s pentathlon of events – the hurdles, gymnastics, swimming, pole vaulting and 100 meter dash. You will record your spiritual progress in your personal Training Log. Action-filled Aerobics for Athletes and tasty Training Table refreshments will keep you in tip-top shape. Daily Closing Ceremonies will provide a “warm down” time with singing, Target Practice memory drills, team announcements, and a skit featuring some top-notch athletes.

The Bible tells us that training your physical bodies so that they are strong and healthy is good in some ways, but training yourself in godliness is good in all ways (1 Tim. 4:8). Running with the Lord Jesus is the best thing you can do!

Remember, we’ll be getting in the starting blocks on Monday, July 21st and run through Friday, July 25th; each day 9:00 A.M. through 12:00 noon, except July 25th which will conclude with a “cook-in” by 1:30 P.M.! Registration packets are available to download on the resources page, on the table outside the C.E. Office (Room 150) or by calling the church office (610-520-9500). Deadline for registration is July 11th! Hurry, space is limited!
