The weeklong Vacation Bible School at Escalon Covenant Church wrapped up on Friday, July 28 with ‘water wars’ being the final event. Following a program put on by participants for their family members and then enjoying a barbecue lunch, there was a dunk tank, water balloons, slip and slide and plenty of squirt guns in evidence as the kids cooled off and had fun. Children’s Ministry Director Jaci Kennedy said about 130 kids attended the ‘Backstage with the Bible’ VBS, learning about everything from the 10 Commandments to the meaning of the cross.
