NEW GLOUCESTER — “Under Construction,” a Habitat for Humanity summerfest, will take place at the Congregational Church from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, Aug. 8 to 12.

“Under Construction” is a Habitat for Humanity Bible School for children age 4 through grade six. It will be conducted at the church, 19 Gloucester Hill Road. Preregistration is encouraged. For preregistration and information, call the church office at 926-3260.

“Under Construction” is a mission action children’s vacation Bible school designed to share the love of God and encourage the growth of Christian service habits among children. It was developed in partnership with Habitat for Humanity International.

The program is biblically based, uses a construction theme and involves the children in activities that teach the value of “building” Christian community and participating in outreach service missions. Program elements include Bible theme activities, music, dance, drama, community stories, crafts, nature activities and special building projects.

While children do not participate in the construction of Habitat homes, they do create crafts that are given to Habitat partner families and volunteers and prepare meals for people in need. An offering taken by the children during the school will be dedicated to providing housing for people in need through the ministries of Habitat for Humanity.
