MCCONNELL - McConnell United Methodist Church invites all children age 3 to children just completing fifth grade to become Sky Scouts at summer Vacation Bible School, "Lift Off! Soaring to New Heights with God." The action take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sundays, July 6, 13, 20 and 27 at the church, 211 N. Hulbert Road, McConnell. A family day will be held on Sunday, Aug. 3, starting at 10:30 a.m.

The program offers fun, interactive activities that combine the world of hot air ballooning with the discovery of how to reach new heights with God. Each lesson will be supported with Bible stories, songs, crafts, games, experiments and snacks.

Each night the children are asked to wear the color of the night. Colors this year are: Yellow, Purple, Red and Blue. Each night, the children are asked to bring one small toy, ball or colored pencils and notebooks for the Mission Project. These items will be sent to a military member who is serving in Afghanistan for distribution to the local children while on humanitarian missions. For more information, call the church office at (815) 868-2324.
