MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Vacation Bible School is back at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Middletown this summer. Vacation Bible School runs from July 24-27, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This year’s theme, ROME: Paul and the Underground Church, will take participants back in time to Rome, exploring the life of the apostle Paul and the underground church.

Children will learn what it was like to be a Christian 2,000 years ago by meeting Paul, some early Christians, and Roman soldiers. There will be catacombs to crawl through, games and crafts with a Roman and Christian focus and even chariot races to run! The program is free and open to all children ages 5 through 12 throughout the Middletown area.

“This year’s theme is fun and unique and the evening program hours fit well into everyone’s busy daytime summertime activity schedule," said Chris Harris, WPC’s Director of Christian Education. "WPC only recently brought back it’s Vacation Bible School program and it’s been very popular the past two years. We think the Rome theme will be a big hit with the kids.”
