"Vacation Bible Ship" held at St. Pat's
Crews making “ Forgiveness Fish” in the Galley
''Vacation Bible Ship'' at St.
Patrick's Catholic Church in
Heppner cruised through the
week of June 10-14.
Forty-five young people be
gan the trip, but by week's end,
more were signing on board
daily with the purser, Pat Brin-
dle. They then donned their life
vests and joined their fellow life
boat crews. The crews were
mixed groups of kindergartners
through fifth graders, directed
through ports of call by the first
mates: Kristi Worden, Paula
Spicerkuhn, Sarah Eckman,
Julie Proctor, Kelsie Greenup,
Colleen McElligott, Miranda
McElligott, Josie Proctor and
Adam McCabe.
The week's daily themes of
the crucifixion and resurrec
tion, love, forgiveness and the
sharing of love and forgive
ness, were emphasized in each
port of call's activities by the
adult crew: "Sin g 'n Play"
Kathy Britt, "C rafts” June
Crowell, "G alley” Pat Doug
herty, "Bible Land Shore Ex
cursions” Mary Haguewood,
"Sh ip R ec" Scott Johnson and
"C in em a" Jeri McElligott.
The preschoolers enjoyed
their own week's program with
Kathy Cutsforth and Anne
Morter, joining the older
Children for some ports of call.
"Active learning was the key
to the week's success," says
Teresa Pihl, program coor
dinator. Every 25 minute seg
ment of the day involved the
children with the day's theme.
Even the galley snacks, pre
pared each day by a different
life boat crew in chefs' hats that“
Dougherty made them, em
phasized the themes.
Family and frineds attended
"Show Tim e" each day to
watch the children's theme-
related entertainment: active
songs, a game show, art and
dramas. Father Gerry Condon,
a behind-the-scenes promoter
of the week, was called upon
to participate in "Show Tim e"
as a game show contestant and
as a Roman soldier.
As the week ended, Pihl said
that the students would re
member the lessons from Bible
stories about Jonah, Noah and
Jesus, the songs, games, crafts,
and the cinema about "Chad-
der Chipmunk".
