2011 Vacation Church School
News


Steelton, PA - The annual St. Nicholas Vacation Church School was held on August 9-11 at  Serb Park in Steelton, PA with 32 children, aged 3-12, in attendance.  This year's theme centered on   "Angels of the Church".  Very Reverend Stavrofor Srboljub Jockovic opened each session with an outdoor worship service then teachers led the students to various picnic areas for lessons.  After class, students participated in craft activities and competed in relay races.  The sessions concluded with prayer and refreshments hosted by Arlene Barber and the St. Nicholas Mother's Club organization. We are grateful to our very own Lenny Tepsich (aka "Mr. Music") for a delightful and special performance on Tuesday evening and we are always appreciative to Miles Bojanic for his generosity as he once again provided each student with a T-shirt promoting our angel theme.

Father Srboljub and the entire Church School Staff would like to express a heart-felt "thank you" to all parents and parishioners for their cooperation and support in making this event such a success.  Our VCS program has been growing each year and, by God's grace, we will continue to offer our young stewards a meaningful and rewarding experience as they develop and grow with us in our Orthodox Christian faith.
