RANCHO DISTRICT -- The Calvary Bible School promises a week of fun for
local youth next week, when it has its four-day Vacation Bible School.
This year, the church is offering a computer science-themed adventure,
in which kids will decode certain symbols to discover a message about
God. The event, called “GP4U: Decoding the Master’s Plan,” is open to all
kids in grades K-6 and is free of charge.
“Computers are so big now, and kids are really into them,” said
organizer Becky Tipton about this year’s theme. “We thought this would
hook them.”
From Monday through Friday, participants will watch skits, do crafts,
sing songs and study Bible verse. A character named Professor
Mega-nog-gin will offer kids the symbols they need to decode a specific
message at the end of the week.
Tipton said the church is expecting 300 to 350 kids from around the
area to attend and hoped this year will be as successful as last, when
the theme was safari.
“This year, we have a simple gospel message, that God created the
universe and loves everyone,” said Tipton.
