Morning Chapel Ends
Vacation Bible School
With Fun and Games

by: Bobby McDonald

Rev. Harold B. Nash was called from the pulpit to serve as the "hind-catcher" in a baseball game
that included those who participated in the Morning Chapel Baptist Church Vacation Bible School.

The week long Vacation Bible School that has been conducted at Morning Chapel Missionary Baptist Church on Fuller Street ended with a series of fun and games on the grounds, Friday morning. "We've had a very successful period of spiritual enrichment," denoted Rev. Harold Nash. "And, what a better way to end the success than with a period of fun."

Organizers of the school, praised the conduct of the over 145 children that attended the services daily and felt that many lives had been changed through the spiritual education offered.

Students attending the Morning Chapel Vacation Bible School enjoyed a morning of fun and games
behind the church on Friday morning, that marked the end of the week long spiritual enrichment.

Eight year old Jasmine Gilbert pauses from hula-hoop
action long enough to enjoy some cooling refreshment,
as she participates in fun and games at Morning Chapel
Baptist Church on Friday morning.

Adult members of Morning Chapel Baptist Church cooked hamburgers from the grill behind the church building and sought shade as the temperatures were rising on Friday morning. "It takes alot of burgers to feed 145 hungry kids and all the volunteers," denoted Rev. Nash. "Especially when they've been playing baseball, volleyball, and host of other games, all morning!"

The "burger crew"...........Adult members of Morning Chapel Baptist Church volunteered
as "chefs" to cook enough burgers to feed over 145 children and all the sponsors and staff
on Friday morning.

All members and organizers, as well as Rev. Nash, felt the Vacation Bible School at Morning Chapel Baptist Church has been a success and felt that the educational efforts would continue to enrich the church and community throughout the coming year. Plans are already underway for next summer's event.
