Fun at Vacation Bible School!

Wasn't that fun today Cloë!!! I loved seeing all those kids.

Yes Tallulah it was great being able to meet the kids that our master and her friends have been working with all week.

I am just sorry we did not get there in time for snack! I hear it was really good.

Do you know why the kids made this snack Tallulah?

I do Cloë. They were learning about Evangelization today and in particular about Jesus telling James and John, two of his apostles, that He would make them fishers of men.

And did you know Tallulah that today (July 25th) is the feast day of St. James.

James' brother was John, one of the other apostles. Both men were fishermen like their father, Zebedee. One day Jesus saw them fishing and he asked them to follow him. He also told them that He would make them fishers of men. So you were absolutely right Tallulah!
 

 
Santiago de Compostela, Spain is believed to be the city where St. James is buried. Here is a picture of the Cathedral and the tomb of St. James.

Tallulah yesterday something very sad happened in Santiago de Compostela. There was a terrible train crash and many people died and were hurt.

Cloë that's terrible, we should be praying for these people and for their family and friends.

You are right Tallulah because I am sure there are a lot of sad people. We need to ask God to be with them during this very sad time.
