“Sun Rock Kids Camp” was
the Program used during St. John's VBS.
Pictured is illustration
of Bible story of Jesus calling Peter to leave his fishing business and
“Come Follow Me.” VBS camp theme of Vacation Bible School (VBS), held
recently at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Zachary, LA, was the
relationship between Jesus and Peter, the first Roman Catholic pope in a
long line of leaders beginning with the call from Jesus 2000 years ago.
St. John VBS Director of Religious Education is Dorothy Kuhlman, and
Secretary is Susan Dixon.
Pastor Fr. Jeff Bayhi
signed “Apostle Creed” prayer copies for 4th through 6th
grade students during Friday, May 29, 2009 lesson, after he had spoken
with them about the succession of priests starting with St. Peter, the
first pope of the Catholic church.
With boat paddle and
fishing net in hand, VBS teacher Dora Cooper and students role play in
the box boat as students load the net with imaginary fish caught.
It was during lessons
when Counselors and students acted out each story, paddling the boat
Peter and Andrew had been in when Jesus first called Peter to be the
head of His Church, fishing when Jesus told Peter to recast his nets,
and into leaving fishing business to begin Jesus’ church. Students were
waves in the stormy sea when Jesus quieted the storm. Students
made crafts with a boat photo of each student taken by Theresa Zink.
During VBS, students rode ponies courtesy of Mary Ludie and Jessie
Baker, and Betty McLellon, who provided their horses. Games were
conducted under direction of Theresa Mondello. Crafts Chair was Janet
McClung. Singing Director was Donna Gremillion with the assistance of
her daughter Elaina Gremillion.
The title of the VBS was Sun Rock Kids Camp, “Sock it to me, Jesus.”
Scripture lessons were conducted by Dora Cooper with assistance of many
volunteer student and parent counselors.

A woman was sharing information she had learned about another.
The priest said, "For penance, I want
you to go home, take a pillow up on your roof, cut it open
with a knife, and return here to me."
So the woman went home, took a pillow
off her bed, went up the fire escape, and stabbed the
pillow.
"Did you gut the pillow with the
knife?" he says. "Yes, father". "And what was the result?".
"Feathers, everywhere!" So the old priest told
her, "Now I want you to go back and
gather every last feather that flew out on the wind".
"Well", she said, "It can’t be done. I
don’t know where they went. The wind took them all over."
"And
that", he said, "is
GOSSIP."
