The Engadine United Methodist Church in Engadine invites all children to join them at "Galilee-bythe Sea" Bible class Monday, June 11, through Friday, June 15. The church will be transformed into the seaside village of Galilee.

Each day the group will divide into small groups and come together for singing, and then explore traditional family life. The children will also explore a Galilee-by-the- Sea marketplace. They may become an apprentice carpenter in the carpentry shop, or make toy boats in the toy-making shop. They will witness live dramas in the center of town, chat with shopkeepers about what Jesus did, and discover what it was like to live in the times Jesus lived.

They're asking parents to plan on special activities Friday.

Registration is Monday, June 11, at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday sessions will start at 10 a.m. For more information, and for transportation, call (906) 477-6766.
