Sometimes Vacation Bible School can look and feel like barely controlled chaos. But the Spirit of God is hovering over those swirling children and dazzled teachers, creating a community of faith our Savior must thoroughly enjoy dancing around in. So it is undeniably fun, but what are they learning?

PUP was a DUD. Just don’t tell anybody. And, don’t tell any fellow Presbyterians that many other highly anticipated – and dreaded – events in the past decade turned out to be duds, too. |

Editor’s Note: Given that many Presbyterians in the pews love to sing Christmas carols throughout Advent, but many worship leaders want to keep with Advent themes for worship, we have commissioned Carolyn Gillette to write Advent-themed hymn texts for Christmas carol tunes for each of the Sundays of this year’s Advent. We invite our loyal readers to incorporate these into their Sunday worship, and to send us a note to let us know how the congregation responds. |

Freshly graduated from a Presbyterian seminary, the young pastor dreamed of creating a retreat center, a place of prayer for a community of faith. Touched by his experience with the Taizé community, he yearned to do graduate study in Europe in preparation for this dream.
