Description:

A New Kind of VBS!
Canton Central United Methodist Church’s Vacation Bible School for 2007 takes a creative approach to a traditional theme, missions. A Heart for Missions helps children learn from biblical examples of missions, help them identify the needs of their own community, and involves them in a hands-on experience of missions. Children don't just learn about missions, but actually engage in missions!
Through the program, our children will discover that they can be a part of missions today. For example, children will create craft items designed to be useful to people in nursing homes, hospitals, and other places of care. Our children will gain confidence in their ability to help others in Christ's name by giving away these craft items.
During the VBS, our church will be transformed into a learning hospital in which children assume the role of medical interns and are divided into groups representing different hospitals. They will enjoy interesting areas such as Lab Work (crafts), X-Ray (Bible activities), Physical Therapy (games), and Ear, Nose, & Throat (music), among others.
A Heart for Missions welcomes preschoolers (3-4 year olds) through 5th graders (completed). Pre-registration is strongly encouraged! Call 828-648-8458 to pre-register.
Location: Canton Central UMC, 34-44 Church Street (across from the Lamp Factory)

Description:

On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we are learning about and communicating with people of different nations, with different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.

We invite all nations to celebrate with Americans online this Fourth of July.

Happy Birthday, America!

The largest soccer camp company in the United States, Challenger Sports, has been invited to host one of their British Soccer Training Camps right here in Waynesville with the Parks and Recreation.

The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger’s British coaching staff flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs. Challenger will hold over 1,800 British Soccer camps this summer and will coach over 90,000 players between the ages of 3 and 18.

Challenger Sports has become the largest soccer camp provider in North America by combining consistently high quality, age specific soccer instruction, along with equally important elements of character, cultural, and nutritional education.

The British Soccer Camp is more than a week of drills and skills. In addition to taking part in a daily regimen of foot skill development, technical and tactical practices and daily tournament style plays, each child will also be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on teamwork, sportsmanship, self discipline and health and nutrition.
