Southern Calvert Baptist Church, 12140 H.G. Trueman Road in Lusby, will offer its Son Harvest County Fair Vacation Bible School with a kickoff after Sunday services on July 13,

noon to 3 p.m. The school, for children from kindergarten to fifth grade, will run from Monday, July 14, to Friday, July 18, from 6 to 8:15 p.m.

Spiritual life will be explored using farming and agricultural themes and teachings from Galatians 5:22-23. โ€œStudents will learn about love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness and patience,โ€ said the Rev. Steve Fehrman, pastor, adding that often โ€œkids need patience.โ€

School time is broken into sessions. There is Bible time, craft time, game and snack time, and participants rotate through the different sessions by age groupings. โ€œWe usually have a wonderful time,โ€ said Cheryl Green, an administrative staff member.

Participants can join the Bible school after it starts. โ€œIt is designed so participants will gain something no matter when they come.โ€ Green said, adding โ€œabsolutely, anyone is welcome anytime.โ€Interested parties can register at the kickoff celebration on July 13 or before school starts on July 14.
