 Last month, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on Shunpike Road in Chatham was transformed into an Africa playground during a four-day vacation Bible school. The "Baobab Blast" themed holiday camp was for kids from preschool to fifth grade, and culminated in a picnic for families on June 26. Children joined in high-action games, awesome music, wacky skits, Bible stories and cool crafts.

Gloria Dei’s vacation Bible school featured around 60 children.
