LAKEPORT, Calif. – People are flocking to United Christian Parish in preparation for Hometown Nazareth, a whole new kind of vacation Bible school being offered at the church Monday, July 25, through Friday, July 29.

Hometown Nazareth will take place from 9 a.m. to noon each day.

Each day children entering Kindergarten through sixth grade will become part of living history as they see, hear, touch and taste what it was like to live in Jesus’ hometown – Nazareth – when he was a kid.

From authentic marketplace crafts (like making olive oil scrubs and a wooden sheep toys) to fresh fruits and bread, kids will get tasty tidbits of what life might have been like when Jesus was a kid.

Vacation Bible school is 100-percent free of charge to anyone who preregisters.

So call the church office at 707-263-4788 or email Pastor Shannon Kimbell-Auth at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to get a registration form today.
