y o u t h Children learn and have fun on Good Friday Each year on Good Friday the Parish of St. Stephen has a mini Vacation Bible School for children ages three through 12. This year they turned out in record number — there were 45 of them plus plenty of teen and adult volunteers. They heard the real Easter story, sang songs, played games, made crafts and pantomimed parts of the story, like Christ’s bursting the bonds of death. They learned to finger crochet and made bracelets and other “bonds,” made butterflies (symbols of the resurrection), coloured pictures of the story, and planted an Easter garden that tells the story yet again.
