Arminta Foushee - On Vacation Bible School (clip)
Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on June 23, 2022
Kathryn Wall (KW): What did you all do at Bible School all day, at Vacation Bible School?
Arminta Foushee (AF): Well we usually have a Bible text as theme for, it used to be like a week, and we’d have a theme, and so we had classes, we had an adult class, a young adult class, we had the teens then the preteens, and then the kids the little tots; and we would just learn Bible stories related to the text, and then we’d all come together for a briefing. So there would be somebody from each class that had to report on what the lesson was, and what they took from the lesson. We’d have songs that we would learn, arts and crafts, sometimes we’d have a guest speaker come in and you know, speak to the group at large and you know, playtime but just the camaraderie, the networking, just the teachers loving on us, and spoiling us. All kids loved Bible School. I don't know that a lot of churches are still doing Bible school, but we’ve not done Bible school since 2019 because of Covid, and so I'm doing Bible school this year. So it's the second weekend in July, July 6th, 7th and 8th because we didn't wanna stretch it out too long, just trying to still put some mechanisms in place to, you know, stay safe.
KW: To ease back in a little bit.
AF: Yeah, just ease back into it, but I'm looking forward to it, yeah.
