Vacation Bible School | Summer of 2021 The children of Sacred Heart Church ventured into the world of Catholics as they learned what it was to be Champions in Christ. Following along with the theme of the Olympics our children had the opportunity to learn what it means to follow Jesus through songs, faith, crafts, games, and even snacks. The students had the opportunity to learn about the Saints, Vir- tues and how to be strong and follow Jesus. We had an amazing team of teen volunteers for without them our program would not have been a success. The VBS adult team consisted of Rebecca Galuska as director, Cecilia and Fiona Graf our music leaders, Amy Mack our faith leader, Britney Bean our craft leader, Jessica Danek game leader, and Angelina Vallejo the creator of Olympic snacks. We look forward to exploring the wilderness in July 2022 as we explore the sacraments of our faith. We look forward to all our children joining us on a wilderness experience! 4 Welcome to Sacred Heart Parish Moline, IL
