More than 50 area youngsters are learning about Joseph’s journey from prison to the palace as part of the Moran Vacation Bible School, co-hosted by the Moran Christian Church and Moran United Methodist Church.

The weeklong session will culminate with a community church service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the Moran City Park, followed by a free lunch.

Attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs. In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved to the Moran American Legion, 237 N. Spruce St.
