Week 3 - Stonebridge Church, Forestville Baptist Church, Fairlane Church, Crosspoint Community Church, Helena UMC, & Friendship Baptist

Rosamond

Hey! Oh! Stonebridge Church has soul! We are so thankful for the love and energy Stonebridge brought to Bible Club this week! The team came prepared to share the love of Christ with every single person God allowed them to meet. Bible Club was always so much fun, and more kids came out every day to participate! Despite the uncertain weather, Stonebridge pressed on and played hard. Games station was a blast, from sharks and minnows to kickball! Songs station was full of laughs and crazy dance moves, and crafts were always neatly related to that day’s Bible story. Stonebridge did an awesome job of encouraging participation in every station and giving attention to the kids as individuals and a whole. Some of the team members made friendship bracelets for the kids at club, and the kids were stoked to have something so sweet to remember their new friends by. Simply put, this week was awesome. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Stonebridge! We cannot wait to see what God has in store for the rest of the summer at Bible Club Rosamond!

National

Week 3 of Bible club is over, but all I can think about is how awesome our God is! Forestville Baptist Church joined us at National this week. The team came in with hearts on fire for Jesus's name to be known at Bible club. The kids really enjoyed playing freeze dance at songs and making tambourines and autograph books at crafts. One of my favorite parts about this week though was seeing each kid actively diving into God's word. At Bible story, Forestville split the kids up into small groups and then told the kids verses to find in the Bible. Every kid was excited to find their verses! The team did a great job of breaking down each Bible verse and story in a way each of the kids could understand. Forestville was eager to reach and love as many kids as possible. On Tuesday, a high of 58 kids heard the Gospel and were loved on! The Lord is so faithful, y'all. Thank you for a great week, Forestville! Continue to be in prayer for Bible Club National as we start week 4!

Whittier

There ain't no Bible Club like the Whit-Vegas Bible Club! Fairlane Church (with the help of Lauren Vernon and friends) proved that this week! The cool, breezy weather allowed the teams to minister well and love on lots of kids to their hearts’ extent. This week’s Bible stories focused on God's grace and King David. Friday, the kids made maracas that helped tell the story of David making music to praise God. Songs station deserves a special shout-out for their high energy. The kids loved competing as boys vs girls and getting to help lead the songs. Over at games, the kids ran their little hearts out playing Sharks and Minnows and Mr. Bear. With a high of 46 kids this week, every single child was shown the love of Jesus through Fairlane Church. This Whittier crew poured so much into the kids and community this week, and we can't wait to have them back next year!

Jackson

Jackson Park is where it's at! Crosspoint Community Church came to serve with us this week at Jackson, and it was a week filled with laughter and intentional love for all the kids at club. The kiddos played some hilarious games of chase the chicken at the games station, and in songs kids could be seen dancing to the Cotton Eyed Joe and other dance jams. On Wednesday, the kids made autograph books for all of their friends to sign. I could tell that the little notes that we wrote in their books showed them that we were friends and that we cared for them. The kids had so much fun running around to all their favorite team members to get their book signed! All week at Bible story the kids learned different parts of the story of David, and on Thursday they were able to hear the gospel explained to them. Several kids prayed the prayer of salvation, and we can’t wait to follow up with them! We praise God for the work that He is doing at Jackson! Please continue to pray that He would reveal more and more of Himself to our kids every day.

Guernsey

What an awesome third week it was for Guernsey Bible Club with Helena UMC in town! This was the team’s first trip to Street Reach, and I loved seeing the passion that they had for Memphis grow as the week went on! The team brought a speaker for their song station, and all the of the kids enjoyed dancing along as well as teaching team members new dance moves. Bible story brought costumes and instruments to keep all the kids engaged in the story. The older boys loved the instruments and even got to make up their own beats and songs that related to the Bible story. Our middle-aged kids enjoyed games the most, especially when they were able to have sack races. Our older girls sang along as they jumped rope in games, and they even turned it into a friendly competition with one another. In crafts the kids made autograph books and enjoyed getting their friends and team members signatures along with encouraging messages from people who love them. We are so thankful for the many blessing the Lord has given Guernsey Bible Club! A huge thank you to Helena UMC for making relationships with the kids and showing them Christ’s love so well. We appreciate you!

Pope

“We have hope, we have life in our Lord Jesus Christ.” Friendship Baptist Church had the key to the Kingdom for Pope Bible Club this week. No rain nor clouds could keep this team from loving on all the kiddos at Bible Club. We were so blessed to have a high of 50 kids come to club on Thursday. Games like Mr. Bear and Tips kept games station full of fun all week. The kids loved playing, shouting, and laughing with the team. Friendship walked the kids at Pope through the Bible, from creation to the cross. We are especially thankful that Friendship dedicated so much time to share the gospel with the kids. Every child left Bible Club with a Bible in hand as the week came to an end. As the summer continues, we believe we will see the seeds planted by Friendship turn into growing plants at Pope. Thank you for serving Pope well, Friendship Baptist!
