Whitewater Valley Presbytery

Forty seven children took part in the bilingual/bicultural Vacation Bible School at John Knox Presbyterian Church in July. The theme was "Living Water"! The children had a great time exploring the ways God uses water throughout the Bible to teach us about obedience, repentance, trust, a new life in Christ and our faith. Living Water was truly gushing and flowing through the halls of the church all week long.

It was clear that that the Holy Spirit was alive and well as participants learned about God through song, water balloons, butterfly puppets, blue ice cream and the laughter of children. The curriculum was written in partnership with people from churches in Whitewater Valley Presbytery and Northern Quintana Roo Presbytery in Mexico. This curriculum also was used in 11 partner churches in Mexico as well. John Knox Presbyterian Church hosted 6 people from Northern Quintana Roo Presbytery. They helped teach and lead the bilingual/bicultural VBS and stayed in members' homes throughout their visit.
