LAKEPORT, Calif. – A summer children's event called “Weird Animals” Vacation Bible School will be hosted at United Christian Parish from July 21 to July 25 with a performance July 27 for those who choose to participate.
At Weird Animals, kids will learn about some of the most diverse and creative animals on the planet.
They’ll participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into yummy treats, experience cool Bible adventures, and test out Sciency-Fun Gizmos they’ll take home and play with all summer long.
Kids at Weird Animals VBS will also participate in two mission projects. They will construct a food tower throughout the week to help stock local food pantries and they will be invited to bring their coins as we take an offering each day to buy shoe vouchers for children in Lake County whose parents are unable to provide them.
Weird Animals VBS is for kids from kindergarten through high school youth and will run from 9 a.m. to noon each day. Each day concludes with “The Tail End” – a celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.
Family members and friends are encouraged to join in daily for this special time at 11:45 a.m.
A $10 donation per family is encouraged but scholarships are available.
For more information, call United Christian Parish at 707-263-4788.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Northern California Episcopal Bishop Barry L. Beisner of Sacramento will make his official parochial visitation to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lakeport on Sunday, June 29, at 10 a.m.
This is one of the most important events in the life of an Episcopal parish, connecting the local congregation to the area diocese, the national church, and ultimately the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Bishop Beisner will preside at the celebration of Holy Eucharist, preach, administer confirmation, formally receive into the Episcopal Church those who come from other church backgrounds, and offer all an opportunity to reaffirm baptismal vows.
Afterwards, the bishop will meet with those present at the hospitality hour and speak with church leaders.
If you are presently worshiping at St. John’s and would like to formalize your affiliation with the parish and the Episcopal Church in either of the ways described above, please let parish priest Fr. Leo Joseph know so that the necessary arrangements can be made in advance.
The community is invited to be present at St. John’s on June 29 to welcome the bishop and receive the blessings of his visit.
The church is located at 1190 N. Forbes, Lakeport, www.saintjohnslakeport.org .
