Rosamond
Bible Club Rosamond was such fun thanks to FBC Paris! The team came in prepared to love on the kids at Bible Club. From dance parties at songs to kickball at games, the kids had a lot of fun and spent their energy well. Each craft was carefully planned and fun to create! The kids really enjoyed making salvation caterpillars (a spin on salvation bracelets) out of popsicle sticks and pom poms. They also really enjoyed decorating all of their crafts with shiny gems. At Bible story, the kids learned a lot about the life of Jesus, and one of our kids was introduced to Jesus as her savior! I am so thankful to FBC Paris for their willingness to share the gospel in love with our kids at Rosamond. Until next time!

The Word Community Church was hanging out at G-Street this week, and our kids had so much fun with them! The crafts station had so many interesting crafts such as prayer journals, salvation bracelets, and picture frames. The kids even got to practice writing in their journals. Bible story kept our kids engaged all week and got them asking tons of questions about making good decisions. The team challenged our older girls with many questions and had many Christ-related conversations. The games station helped our kids stay cool by tossing water balloons back and forth. All our kids had a blast in the songs station where they made a music video to the song “King of My Heart”. Some of the kids got to sing while the older girls made up dance moves and the older boys participated in the production team. The Word knocked on all the doors and brought us a summer high of 68 kids on Thursday! We are so grateful for The Word and how they loved on our kids. Please keep the G-street babies in your prayers!

National
Week 4 has come to an end, leaving us with four more weeks of summer! Broad River Baptist Association took on National this week and had a blast. From interactive Bible stories to water games and colorful crafts the kids had a fantastic week. The kids loved getting to play Connect Four and relay games in games. Broad River planned a super structured water day for Thursday where the kids used spray bottles to participate in a series of water games. In crafts, they colored frisbees with the Bible verse of the day on them and decorated with stickers. The Bible story group had props to go along with the story which really helped our kids to interact. Broad River had the little kids in their very own group where they played with blocks and puppets and showed lots of love. We started off with 53 kids on Monday and ended the week on with 57 kids on Friday! Thank you for such a great week Broad River! Please continue praying for National as we head into week 5!

Whittier
Amazing is an understatement for this past week at Whitvegas. This whole week was centered on the story of Nehemiah, and the kids focused on memorizing Jeremiah 29:11. The kids kept coming up to us with so much excitement to show us how they could say the whole verse on their own, which was beyond sweet to witness. Games were crazy fun all week - from doing obstacle courses blindfolded to learn about trusting God, to playing with the parachute, to playing red light green light, games were constantly moving, and the kids were having a blast. Crafts was incredible, especially painting rocks to highlight that Jesus is our rock and making the cutest polaroid bookmark craft. Our Whittier kids also really enjoyed learning new songs from Valley View Baptist Church his week. Seeing the kids joyfully dancing and singing about God’s Truth brought me so much joy. Lastly, at the end of the day on Friday, every single kid received a Bible to take home. They were so excited about the Bibles and I am so excited to know they now have access to Scripture at any time. This incredible week was all thanks to the wonderful Valley View Baptist Church from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I truly cannot thank y'all enough for all the energy, love, and truth you poured into God’s Whitvegas babies this week. You all really gave them your best, and you are so appreciated.
1 Corinthians 16:14 says, “Do everything in love” and I witnessed you do just that this week. Please come back & see us! We are so excited to see what Week 5 will hold at Whittier!

Jackson
This week we had Arrowwood Baptist Church serving with us at Jackson, and it was a fun-filled week! At Bible story this week, kids heard the story of the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume. The kids were able to tangibly participate in the story as they got their hands “anointed” with yummy smelling germ-x. The kids also learned about Jesus asking Peter to feed his sheep, and the kids enjoyed playing with their cotton ball sheep. In crafts, Bible club kids loved making sand art crosses, coloring their own frisbees, and salvation caterpillars. Songs was a constant dance party, and the games station could always be seen playing parachute games. On Friday, the team gave out goody bags to the kids, a wonderful way to show how God provides. 61 kids were able to receive a bag, and they were so thankful! It was a joy to see how much the kids were loved on this week! Continue praying for the kids at Jackson- God has been so faithful to pour out His love on these kids!

Pope
FUMC Wamego brought an amazing time to Pope this week. The kids constantly came and tell us how they learned to have joy from the story of Paul in Jail, faithfulness from the story of Manna from Heaven, self-control from the story of Jonah and the Whale, and so on. FBC Wamego had their own coloring books for the kids at Bible Club that coordinated with the Bible story every day. The kids loved to color the pages and retell the Bible story to us! Everyone jammed out in songs to Church Clap and had freeze dances until they couldn’t possibly freeze dance anymore. In games, the kids got to play sharks and minnows, Mr. Bear, and so much more! Thank you, FUMC Wamego, for an amazing week with a high of 50 kids! We love and appreciate you guys.

I will never get over just how sweet it is when people come and love the kids that I love so much. People like FBC Amory make love seem so easy and natural. This week as we learned about the “superheroes” of the Bible, children came to understand that you don’t have to be someone rich, strong or royal to change the world. Changing the world starts with our own hearts, the way we choose to respond to situations around us, and the strides we take towards obedience to God. We made awesome superhero capes out of pillowcases and flew from station to station. I believe that seeds were watered and began to spout this week. FBC Amory’s intentionality showed this week. Not only did they do a great loving the kids, they did their best to minister to the kids’ families as well. Thank you, Amory, for your kindness, generosity, and love towards Bible club Que Que. The party won’t stop.

Johnson
Johnson kids were loving Bible Club this week thanks to FBC Amory! The theme this week was superheroes, and the kids LOVED it! From making masks and capes at crafts to learning about how Jesus is our ultimate superhero at Bible story, FBC Armory kept the kids interested and learning during every rotation. The kids loved freeze dance at songs, kickball at games, and everything in between! Despite the heat, we hit a weekly high of 43 this week! Thank you, FBC Amory, for loving, serving and giving 100% to the Johnson kids this week! Keep us in your prayers throughout the rest of the summer.

Treadwell
Mighty thanks to New Pleasant for coming in and opening Treadwell Bible Club! We had a high of 34 kids on Friday that got to hear the gospel due to New Pleasant’s diligence to canvas well. The children loved every station from making megaphones to proudly proclaim the gospel with to playing kickball and duck, duck, goose. The Bible story station rocked my socks off as even the babies were all focused and having fun listening to the interactive lessons presented to them. I am very thankful for every person that came in and loved on the kids so well. Such great bonds were made that Calessia even "adopted" one of the team members as family. I can’t wait for you to come back next year New Pleasant! Everyone, please pray for Treadwell that our kids will grow rooted in Christ as our summer story is not over yet.
1 John 5:14-15 says, this is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
