BUILDing a solid foundation on Jesus

WINNIPEG – When you have more than 19,000 pieces of LEGO, a church interior brimming with bricks, and a life-size LEGO figure, you might not think faith-building would be part of things, but you’d be wrong. 

From August 14-18, Peace Lutheran Church welcomed 46 kids (ages 5-12) to their brick-building themed Summer Kids Camp called BUILD. 

…each piece was tied to a Bible story that allowed kids to build a solid foundation on the teachings of Jesus.

Each day, kids were introduced to a new piece that would build a complete six-foot-tall LEGO figure by week’s end, and each piece was tied to a Bible story that allowed kids to build a solid foundation on the teachings of Jesus.

Thanks to an amazing group of youth and adult volunteers, BUILD was able to keep kids moving and engaged with many activities. There were Bible adventures, LEGO stop-motion movie-making, a Master Builder Room for LEGO build challenges, LEGO-themed crafts in the Creation Station, NINJAGO outdoor games, Build-A-Snack, and a high-energy Praise Party to close each morning. 

Like the LEGO Movie says: “Everything is Awesome.” That’s especially true when we help kids in the church and community build their life, brick by brick, on the solid rock of Jesus. What a fun way to build up kids’ faith in Jesus!
