    Surf’s up at St. Andrew! This year’s Vacation Bible School will follow the Beach Party: Surfin’ Through the Scriptures theme. Children will be lead by their own “lifeguards” through many fun workshops including science, crafts, story/drama,  music, and a few more, all while learning and practicing the bible verse of the day and the “Beach Be-Attitudes”. Our day will start with our resident legendary surfer Sandy Castle and the wayward flamingo Flame’ showing what our attitude of the day will be, and end with the same two characters figuring out how to live God’s word using the daily lesson. It will be a fun week of sun, surf and scriptures, culminating with a musical performance in church the following Sunday. Registration for both the morning and evening sessions will begin Sunday, May 4th, and will continue until the classes are full. The cost is $25 per child for the week, and scholarships are available.
