Thrivent Builds-themed vacation Bible school teaches children how to create a community of caring.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Gastonia, South Carolina, is one of 15 Gaston County Lutheran churches that will soon unite to build a Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity home. In acknowledgement of the upcoming build, Holy Trinity welcomed 71 children, four-year olds to fifth graders, in July for a week of Vacation Bible School developed entirely around a Thrivent Builds theme.

With curriculum materials titled “Under Construction,” the children—wearing hard hats and with carpenter pencils provided by Thrivent Financial—learned how to build a community of caring through songs, games, crafts and stories. Each day, they learned a bit more about Habitat for Humanity and on the final day they took a field trip to the home build site.

The children also built and painted birdhouses, including one for the Thrivent Builds homeowner family. Other Thrivent Builds-themed craft projects included wall hangings and key hangers.

In addition, the children collected $612 to help purchase the front door of the Thrivent Build’s home, which they’ll be able to try out when they attend the home dedication to welcome the family to their new home and new life.
