VCS 2012 focuses on enabling children to celebrate the gift of diversity. The 2012 VCS writers pool focus lessons on the biblical model of Christ teaching his disciples love and accept children, embracing and bringing the children of churches the stories of hopes and struggles of indigenous children.

This two week long of studies and various learning activities for children lead also in developing a sense of solidarity among children in the churches and indigenous children through Christ, thus, adopting the theme: Bearers of Hope, Bridges of Love. SCCD held VCS classes two weeks in a row in the church premises, Simborio outreach, Mary Cris and Dexterville Outreach areas. About 300 kids participated and 35 volunteer teachers assisted by the CWA and parents in snack preparation.

VCS REFLECTION by Avin son Matro

Sa buhay Kristiyano ng mga taga Sabang Church of Christ Disciples, masasabi nga natin na ang bakasyon ang siyang pinaka-abalang panahon ng ating Iglesya.  Isa sa mga gawaing ito ay ang Vacation Church School. Ang VCS 2012 ngayon ay may temang “Bearers of Hope, Bridges of Love in Jesus Christ” na kung saan tinalakay dito ang buhay at kalagayan ng ating mga katutubo. Isang malaking hamon sa aming mga guro ang VCS tema ngayon dahil naging malawak at malalim ang aralin. Salamat sa Panginoon dahil nagkaroon kami ng panahon upang paghandaan at pag-aralan ang bawat aralin. Sa gabay at patnubay ng Diyos ay naituro namin ito ng maayos, masaya at naging makabuluhan para sa mga bata

Isang napakagandang karanasan ito sa buhay pananampalataya natin at nawa ay patuloy tayong maging Bearers of Hope, Bridges of love in Jesus Christ sa mga bata dahil sa kanila naghahari ang Diyos. To God be the glory!
