Week 2 - FBC Fisherville, Munford Baptist, FBC Shamrock, FBC Monticello, South Community Church, Fall Creek Baptist Church, Northwest Baptist Church, & the Hannibal-LaGrange Volleyball Gals.

Rosamond
FBC Fisherville had soul at Rosamond this week! Our kids spent the week learning about the fruits of the spirit and the armor of God. Crafts tied in perfectly with Bible story all week, which was a great way for Fisherville to reinforce the important lessons they were teaching the kids. Songs station was always hype, especially when the team taught the kids a jump rope chant about walking streets of gold! It was awesome to see every age group of kids excited to try the jump roping chant and challenge! Additionally, games station was always hopping! The energy never died down during kickball tournaments! We were fortunate to see some new faces at Bible club every day this week, and we cannot wait to continue to minister to all of the kids at Rosamond throughout the summer! Thank you, FBC Fisherville, for spending week 2 with us! We are so thankful for your offerings of time and talents.

National
What a great second week at National Bible club! Munford Baptist came to town this week with their hearts ready to love, and their hands and feet ready to serve. We have worked with this team for years now and it is so encouraging to see their lasting passion and love for our community. Munford made everything about Bible club a blast! Whether they were playing volleyball at games or making superhero masks at crafts, the kids enjoyed every single second of it. At the beginning of the week, the team found out that some of their favorite kids did not live in the area anymore. It was hard for them, but they knew God would faithfully send the kids that He wanted to be at Bible club. We sat back and watched the team fall in love with and build beautiful relationships with new kids. It was a special reminder that although things don't always go the way we expect, God is so faithful and always provides. And guess what? Some of the kids that moved actually showed up one day and got to hang out with the team! God is so cool, y'all. I have no doubt that every kid at Bible club felt loved and saw the love of Christ through the team this week. Thank you, Munford Baptist!

Guernsey 
FBC Shamrock came to hang out on G-Street for week 2! This returning team came excited to reconnect with kids they remembered from last summer. There was a unique craft every day for the kids to enjoy. From making pillows to carving soap to making key chains, the kids loved all of the hands-on activities! The team taught our older girls the remixes to bible club songs along with different dance moves. The girls loved learning those and turning them into dance competitions. The older girls looked forward to songs each day, and even decided to teach the team some songs, such as “oreo." It was so sweet to look over throughout the day and watch the girls genuinely enjoying their time at songs. Bible story had a memory verse for the week, and some of the kids were able to memorize it by the end of the week! I was so proud of the kids as they came up to me throughout the week and excitedly told me what they had learned. It was a great week at Guernsey, and I am excited to see where the Lord takes us this summer. A huge thanks to FBC Shamrock! Please continue to pray for the kids at G-street in the weeks to come.

Jackson
FBC Fisherville came in for week 2 at Jackson, and we had so much fun! Bible story was a big hit as kids had the chance to act out marching around the walls of Jericho in addition to learning about the story of Naaman from puppets! Games station was always busy with sack races and elbow tag. So much fun! In crafts, the kids loved decorating paper horns that said “satan stinks,” and on Friday, all of the kids could be seen running around with their very own belt of truth! One day this week, as the older girls were eating their lunch in songs station, the girls were asked what they wanted to thank God for. Nataiyah shared that she thanked God that He had sent people here so that they could pick her up and bring her to Bible club. Overhearing this conversation, I was so touched to know what Bible club means to Nataiyah, and that she understood that it was God who had sent us here to love on the community around her. Keep praying that God would reveal more and more of Himself through Bible club as the summer continues. What a privilege it is that God allows us to be a part of His work!

QueQue
Q -U-E! Q-U-E! We couldn’t think of a better place to be! Week two was a sweet week. FBC Monticello and some volleyball gals from Hannibal-LaGrange University came out to rock our socks. From soap whittling to relay races, everything about our club was fun! The kids were loved on so well this week, and all that love transferred to how well the kids received the Bible stories. The kids learned a lot about choices this week, and we are so thankful that FBC Monticello and the volleyball gals made the choice to love the kids at Que Que! I believe that the Que Que kids learned a lot from the team this week and took their Bible story lessons to heart each day. This week was giggles galore! We are so thankful for Monticello and the Volleyball girls for all they did this week, and we are already ready for them to be back!

Whittier
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” - Colossians‬ ‭3:23-24‬
South Community Church did what this verse commands so well this week. Every kid that came to Whittier Bible club this week got to experience the love of Christ & have loads of fun. Every time I looked around, the kids were either so engaged in the Bible story, dancing in songs, playing hard and doing relay races, or proudly showing off their crafts. The kids kept coming back - plus bringing siblings and friends with them because of how fun Bible Club was & how loved they felt. Because South Community’s passion for our kids, we reached a high of 50 kids this week. I cannot put into words how well South Community loved this community and how hard they worked to serve God and others. We can’t thank you enough! We will miss y’all so much. Come and see us at Whitvegas again soon! Until then, prayers for changed hearts & lives in this community would be greatly appreciated. Week 2 was so so good to us!

Pope
I just wanna throw up, I just wanna throw up, I just wanna throw up my hands to the Lord! This is one of the songs that the kids at Bible Club Pope loved singing this week alongside Fall Creek Baptist Church! The kids and staff had an amazing time with the Fall Creek team this week. At crafts, the kids got to make crosses, necklaces, bracelets, and even some backpacks. Over at games station, the team taught the kids some cool new games like rag tag. Several kids told us that songs was one of their favorite parts of the day. They just want to be sheep, bah bah bah bah, which they learned plenty about at Bible story. Fall Creek taught the kids how to be sheep with a Shepherd, and how to not be deceitful. The kids enjoyed games like rag tag, samurai sword, and Mr. Bear. We even had a high of 40 kids! Thanks for a great week, Fall Creek!

Kendrick
Romans 8:31 tells us, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” We certainly saw the truth of this scripture at Kendrick this week. God showed up and showed out through the hands and feet of Northwest Baptist Church at Kendrick Bible Club! From drawing the story of the Lost Sheep on a whiteboard to learning about the Garden of Gethsemane, the kids were all ears at Bible story. Crafts was nothing short of fun, from making sweet sheep to decorating a fence to keep the sheep in. Songs had the kids jamming to a cool beat as the kids learned that nothing can be against them when God is for them. Games varied from Duck Duck Goose to a ball toss that always kept the kids on their toes. Fun was definitely had by all! Thank you so much Northwest Baptist Church for coming to serve and love with so much heart for the kids of Memphis!
