East Winnfield Baptist Church will hold a “Lava Lava Luau” Vacation Bible School for area youngsters nightly from July 21 through 25.  The event is open to all children ages Pre-K through Grade 12.

Pastor Jeff Shows explains that this VBS could as well be named, “Keeping Cool when Things Get Hot!” Promotional materials say, “Emotions are like a force of nature, but with God’s help, we can learn to take control of our emotions before a storm hits! In Lava Lava Luau 5-day VBS curriculum, kids will learn Biblical ways to express and deal with their emotions.”

This 5-day program puts a unique spin on the Hawaiian Vacation Bible School theme. During a fun week at the Lava Lava Luau, children participating in this EWBC Vacation Bible School will see what God’s Word says about anger, sadness, jealousy, developing a kind attitude, and frustration. They’ll also learn how to respond to others who may be feeling these emotions as well.

This exciting VBS is open to the community with nightly sessions from 6 until 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, July 21-25.  To allow family members and friends to see what the children have learned, a Commencement Night will be held Sunday, July 27 at 5 p.m.

A pre-registration will be held at the church from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday, July 19.  For a little fun at that time, organizers announced that there will be a fire truck onsite and Shannan Chevallier from LSU AgCenter will be there with games.  

East Winnfield Baptist Church is located at 6584 Hwy 34 North, just past the flashing light on Hwy 84 East in Joyce.  For inquiries, call 628-5998.
