HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --  Children are invited to join one of the 12 tribes and explore the town of Nazareth to learn more about the life of the young Jesus Christ at the Hill Chapel's vacation bible school.

This year's theme, Hometown Nazareth, will focus on the young life of Jesus. Children will learn more about him, his family life and about those who doubted he was God's son and those who stood up for him.

"There will be a lot of role playing including being workers in a marketplace from that time period," said Vicki Preston, Catholic Elementary Coordinator of Religious Education.

Other activities will include meeting Mary, Jesus' mother and listening to her tell stories about her son when he was young, and children will learn how to stand up for their beliefs.

The VBS is free and open to all children with base access, ages 3 to those entering the 7th grade. It will be held at the Base Chapel, Aug. 1-5, 6 p.m. to 8:30pm.

Parents can register their children by picking up a form from the chapel or online at https://www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/hl/HillChapelVBS

There is also a need for several volunteers to help out with various activities. Those interested are being asked to sign up online or call Vicki Preston at 801- 776-2329 or Ann Marie Price at 801-540-9238.
