Week 7 - Aldan Union Church, Mountain Creek Baptist Church, Townville Baptist Church, The Gathering Place, Calvary Baptist Church, Third Street Baptist Church, Waycross FUMC, & The Brook Church.

Rosamond

Aldan Union Church spent this week with us at Rosamond! The team's sweet spirit was obvious, and the kids had a wonderful time getting to know them. Aldan Union spent the week teaching the Rosamond kids all about Joseph, his dreams, and his coat of many colors. The teeny-tinies were fascinated by the colorful picture books the team used to convey the Bible stories to them. My personal favorite craft that the kids made this week was a "stained glass" coat of many colors. All the kids were stoked to take their masterpieces home and hang them up in their bedroom windows. Everyone had fun in games, from kickball and hula-hoop basketball to four-square in the dirt. Additionally, songs station was always full of interesting surprises, including a chance to play the ukulele. The kids had fun this week, and so did I! Thanks, Aldan Union Church, for your willingness to travel to Memphis and love on our sweet and sassy kids!

Guernsey

Week 7 was so much fun out at Guernsey Bible Club thanks to Mountain Creek Baptist Church! This was the team’s first trip to Street Reach, and it was so awesome hearing about how much the team enjoyed their trip. It was also really cool to see how much they loved on our Bible Club kids. In Bible Story, Mountain Creek taught our kids about Joseph, his brothers, and his coat of many colors. The middle-aged kids loved getting to help the team act out trust by catching one of the leaders in a trust fall. Our kids loved songs station where they learned a new song with motions and sang tons of Bible Club songs. In games, all of our kids played kickball and had so much fun doing so. It was neat to see our kids cheering one another on and giving high fives to each other when they ran to home base. We loved getting a few minutes to play kickball with our older boys and girls! In crafts, the team helped the kids make a game out of a cup and a string with a bead that represented that God forgives us an infinite amount of times. Here is a huge shout out to Mountain Creek for loving our kids so well this week! Please keep Guernsey Bible Club in your prayers as next week is our last week with our kiddos for the summer!

National
Somehow we have already been through 7 weeks of Bible club. The last 7 weeks have been full of fun games, cool crafts, crazy songs, and lots of Jesus. Townville Baptist Church came to join us for the last week of Bible club at National this summer. The kids had lots of fun as they made some really cool crafts and played ultimate soccer and fun relays at games. Every day we prayed that the Lord would send us as many kids as possible to share his love with during this last week of Bible club, and every day we had old kids, new kids, and kids we hadn't seen since the beginning of the summer! On Friday we had a high of 64 kids! It was an awesome reminder that God is so faithful and really listens to our prayers. The best part of this week is that we had two kids accept Christ into their hearts! I can't wait to see what God continues to do in their lives. I'm not sure how summer is already coming to a close. Some days of Bible club were harder, hotter and crazier than others, but every single day I saw God alive and present and working in the hearts of the kids at National Bible club. I know that even though Bible club is over for the summer God will still be with each of the kids and will use them to be disciples in their homes and on their streets. We feel honored that God would allow us to be a small part of the work He is doing here. All glory to Him. It's been real, National Bible club.

Jackson

Let’s go Jackson! This week The Gathering Place church came to serve at Jackson, and what a week of love and compassion, high energy, and tons of fun we had! This week in crafts the kids decorated binoculars, made their own prayer journals, and decorated picture frames to put Polaroid snapshots in. It was so fun to see them react to having their picture taken with a polaroid and watching the picture of them appear out of nowhere! Songs station was a party all this week filled with freeze dance and loud singing, and it was so fun to hear the older girls chant “Who runs the world? Girls!” as soon as they ran over to songs. Games station played some seriously cool games this week, like an inchworm relay and the floor is lava. Kids were having so much fun, and we were having fun watching them act so silly! Bible story knocked it out of the park this week; the kids learned all about the story of Joseph and learned how it related to their own lives. From learning how to run from temptation (literally by running in circles from “temptation”) to learning that in each and every situation we can forgive others, the kids learned some great truths. On Friday, 57 precious kiddos came out to Bible club to end the summer with us, and we had a blast! God has been incredibly faithful this summer to pour out His love on our Bible club kids. Please pray that the seeds planted this summer would grow and be fruitful. God is so kind to let us be a part of all of this! 
- Holly & Tedder

Johnson

We had an awesome week at Johnson thanks to The Gathering Place Church! The kids had a blast learning about Joseph, his life, relationships, sufferings, and temptations. Each day, the kids learned a different main point from the Bible story which allowed them to remember the lessons easier. There were some awesome crafts throughout the week such as prayer journals, working binoculars, and heart frames for polaroids of each kid. TGP played games like three-legged & hula-hoop races, and jumping over a jump rope ‘river’. The kids were so engaged and loved every second it. We had a summer high of 51 kids come out to hear the gospel and be loved on! In addition to that, we had a salvation! We are happy to announce that Mariah accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior this week! Thank you for the prayers over Johnson Bible Club, and we can’t wait to see what next week has in store!

Whittier

We cannot believe week 7 has already passed at Whittier! Calvary Baptist rocked this week. At club this week the kids were told the story of Joseph and the different aspects of how God worked through him. Crafts tied back into the Bible story each day, and the kids absolutely loved making forgiveness bookmarks & salvation caterpillars. Games station deserves a special shoutout for introducing the kids to Ships and Sailors as well as water sponge races, which the kids LOVED. In songs, they danced to Rolex and the classic summer favorites Pizza Man, Little Red Wagon, and Oh A Milkshake. Having a high of 55 kids on Wednesday, each and every child was shown the love of Christ through the team this week. Thank you to Calvary Baptist for pouring into our kids and community. We are so thankful for another full week of sweet smiles & seeing our precious Bible Club kids learning more about the gospel. We are pumped to see what week 8 holds for Whitvegas!

Que Que 

As I reflect on this summer and everything it brought, I am thankful. Thankful for teams thankful for community members, thankful for the ministry, and thankful for God’s faithfulness to provide. This past week was the last week of summer for the Que Que partay. To close out the summer, we had the privilege of serving with Third Street Baptist Church. They made some lasting memories with the kiddos this week. They’re kindness and enthusiasm to meet the kids exactly where they were was encouraging. We had a whole station strictly for our 4 and under group where the team would come over and take turns hanging out with them. They played playdough, blocks and colored everything (including the tarp.) Our older kid group enjoyed some pretty competitive kickball and sang praises at the end of each Bible story. On Friday afternoon while walking home we sang “this little light of mine” one more time and as we sang the last chorus little Paityn asked, “what is the little light?” Thrilled to learn it is Jesus, she sang louder! As we approached her doorstep she met her mother explaining to her what the little light was. Paityn has always been a little bundle of energy, but this time I believe she’s going to be a little light to her Pre-K class. Third Street Baptist church brought the love this week. It was a great last week. For everyone who came and ministered to the Que Que kids, thank you!
- Anna & Ashley

Pope

Wow, what a summer! Big thanks to Waycross FUMC for closing out Bible Club Pope this summer! It was an awesome week. The kids had fun and learned a lot going through the stories of Joseph. They got to make awesome crafts like door hangers, necklaces, bracelets, crosses, and picture frames, too! All of the Pope kids were super excited to show off their amazing crafts. The team led the kids in super fun games like Sharks and Minos, Wax Museum, and more. They also got to sing some fun Bible Club songs like Hey Bo Diddley Bop, Bazooka Bubble Gum, and they got to dance to some crazy-fun songs too.  We had a great summer at Pope as we were blessed with the opportunity to minister to over 100 kids. Thanks to all who came and loved on our community!
- Carla & Tanisha 

Treadwell

Treadwell was an absolute party this week thanks to The Brook church, and the kids loved it! The team brought tents for the children to sit under, huge speakers to blast music from, bubble machines, an abundance of toys, fantastic crafts, and a love for Bible Club. Club looked fun before it even started, and that in combination with the attention poured into the children kept them coming back for more. During an in-depth conversation about God with the older kids, Tank revealed that he believed in the Greek gods as well as Jesus. We spoke to him about how God is the only true God and even says so himself in the scripture using verse John 14:6, and how the Greek gods are lowercase gods and mythology. He then said that he needed to speak with his teacher who taught him about the Greek gods so he could tell her the truth. Additionally, Andricko was responsive to the team talking to him about the gospel on his walk to club and had a two-on-one conversation about what it means to follow Jesus. Many seeds were planted this week at Treadwell and we cannot wait until Spring to plant and grow some more. Please stay in prayer for these kids and their families, and that we will next see them in the Spring season. Please pray that teams will come ready to be the hands and feet of God in this community as they follow Jesus. {Luke 4:16 – 21}

Week 6 - FBC Jamestown, Calvary Church, Union Grove Baptist Church, North Hampton UMC, Grace UMC, & First Presbyterian Hannibal.

Rosamond

Week 6 has come and gone already - we can't believe it! FBC Jamestown was at Rosamond this week. With five stations, there was always something for everyone to enjoy! Bible Story was complete with colorful posters, big pictures, and a silly little river otter puppet named Romper. Crafts ranged from salvation bracelets to Christmas ornaments, all of which were well-timed and lots of fun. Science station was well equipped with fun experiments that related to life on mission. The kids were so excited to go home and show their families how the joy of Jesus bubbles up inside of us like baking soda on a lemon! Song's station was a blast with musical chairs and hand games, and games was always an adventure! At the end of the week, every kid got to take home a handmade cross necklace. Natia was so excited to get everyone to autograph her cross so she could remember to pray for her new friends by name - so sweet! Thank you, FBC Jamestown, for all of your efforts this week. Keep us in your prayers over the next two weeks!
- Brianna

Guernsey

This week Calvary Church was in town and hanging out at G-Street! The church has been to Guernsey Bible Club before, so they were excited to reunite with some of the kids! The team put on a friendly competition for our older boys as they created new relay races for them to complete each day in games. The kids loved it, and it was sweet to see our older boys cheer one another on as they raced. All our kids learned about Jesus’ tomb and baptism during Bible story. Our youngest kids loved decorating rocks that resembled Jesus’ tomb and making megaphones out of plastic cups. The kids showed their knowledge off to us all week by shouting the good news of the Lord through their megaphones. Abbey and I are very excited to let everyone know that one of our older boys, Courtney, has accepted the Lord into his life! For those who know Courtney, you know how truly smart he his and the depth of his many questions. After having multiple conversations with him throughout the week, Courtney asked if we could pray together for him to accept the Lord. We could not be any more excited about this! I am so thankful for all the seeds that teams have planted in Courtney! It has been an amazing summer so far, and we ask for prayers as our summer comes to a close. See you next year, Calvary. Thanks for all you did this week!

- Katie & Abbey

National
This week at National we had Union Grove Baptist Church in the house. The week was filled with lots of dancing, bubble blowing, and jump roping. During crafts, the team helped the kids make a coat of many colors and a lion mask among some other cute things. During songs, the kids played hot potato, and when the music stopped they had to say what their favorite thing about club was. It was such a neat way for the team and the kids to interact. In games, Union Grove planned jump rope, sharks and minnows, and ultimate soccer. The team had interactive Bible stories and even used lemonade to demonstrate sharing. Thank you all so much for sacrificing your time to spend it with the National kids!
- Allie & Morgan

Jackson

I don't know what I've been told, Bible club ain't getting old! What a fun-filled week at Jackson! Calvary Church came full of love to give, and it was a blessing to see them be the hands and feet of Jesus this week. The kids learned about how God is able to heal broken and hurting hearts, and they symbolized that by bandaging a heart with band-aids in crafts. The kids had a ton of fun playing soccer and kickball at games, and they loved making megaphones at crafts to remind them to share the good news. When the Bible story was about Jesus being baptized, it was really awesome to hear one of our older girls, Perla, explain back to me that baptism was a symbol of how God has washed us clean of our sins. She knew that baptism showed others that one had believed in Christ and chosen to follow Him. There is no doubt that God has been pouring out His love on the kids at Jackson!

- Holly & Tedder

Johnson

It was a hot week at Johnson, but the kids still had an awesome time! Calvary Church loved on our kids so, so well. The kids had an awesome time learning about Jesus and John the Baptist. In crafts, the kids enjoyed "baptizing Jesus" and making healed hearts. In games, they enjoyed playing all kinds of games like Mr. Bear and kickball. Their favorite was a Sharks and Minos style game called Infection which related to the Bible Story of Jesus healing lepers. Something that meant a lot to me was being able to give a Bible to Jay. He is such a big help at club, and we can’t wait to watch him grow in his faith after accepting Christ last week! Thank you to Calvary Church for loving our kids so well! After a high of 40 kids this week, we can’t wait to see Bible Club Johnson continue to grow!
- Kenni & Kaden

Que Que

Through the heat and through the humidity, God was showed up at Bible Club Que Que this week. Thanks to Grace UMC, we had some precious moments with some awesome kids this week. After 6 weeks of being out at Bible Club, we finally started to see some walls come down for one of our sweet girls. One of our older boys was really touched by the kindness of the leaders, so much so that he wanted to give the cross he made at crafts to his favorite leaders on Friday. Seeds that have been planted and watered throughout this summer are definitely showing growth. We are so thankful for Grace UMC for all that they did to bring life to the Que Que party. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next week!
- Anna & Ashley

Whittier

If I had to choose one word to describe this week at Whittier it would be extraordinary. We are so thankful to Calvary West Campus for hanging out with us another year! This team's love and enthusiasm kept the kids coming out for club. We had a summer high of 59 on Thursday and remained in the 50’s all week. They found new kids and ministered to new families all week long. The kids had a blast in bible story and showed their knowledge by answering questions and receiving candy. Games kept the energy up with dance parties and finger dart relays! In crafts, the kids made shields, salvations chains, and megaphones, which they used to shout and spread the good news of Jesus! For those of you who know Ambree and Devin, they both accepted Christ this week. We are so thankful for all God did this week & eager for another amazing week of Bible club.
- Claire & Special K

Pope

We had a great week hanging out with kids at Pope this week thanks to North Hampton UMC. The kids loved to dance to songs like the Cupid Shuffle and Church Clap. They played several games including sharks and minnows, duck duck goose, and a new game called Wax Museum. North Hampton taught the kids about Jesus washing our sins away and the death and resurrection of Christ. In crafts, the kids made treasure chests (because they are treasures to God) as well as wonder bottles, picture frames, and origami things. Everyone had a blast at club this week, from just loving on kids to sharing the Gospel with them. Thanks for a great week, North Hampton UMC. 

- Carla & Tanisha

Treadwell

Hello Treadwellians! God showed his sovereignty multiple times over the course of this week at Bible club, and it was amazing! We had twenty-eight different children come to club this week to hear about the gospel. Our older kids station on Thursday did not want to stop hearing about God, so the other rotations continued the Bible story for them. On Friday, many children were spoken to about what it means to accept Jesus into their heart and a salvation took place! Ry’Niya, the cousin of Martaja and Tank, understood the choice she had made and was joyful about it. When I asked her what this choice meant for her life she told me, “It won’t always be easy, but I’m going to live differently now and become more and more like Jesus. When I get angry, I have to pause to think about my actions and what Jesus would want me to do. I can’t just hit people anymore.” I am so thankful to God for increasing our kingdom family this past week at Treadwell with the help of First Presbyterian Hannibal! Thank you for answering the call this past week could not have happened the way it did without you!

Week 5 - Union Grove Baptist Church, FUMC Marble Falls, FBC Liberty, Arcadia FBC, Ridgedale Baptist Church, & Valley View UMC.

Rosamond

The Fourth of July week at Rosamond was popping with love and fun thanks to Union Grove Baptist Church! The team came in prepared to minister to every child the Lord placed in front of them this week. A family of girls came to know Jesus as their Savior on Monday, which gave us more cause to celebrate than even July 4th! On Wednesday, Union Grove provided sack lunches for all of the Bible Clubs. We were so thankful for that! Songs station was a blast every single day! The kids really loved playing musical hula-hoops and going on bear hunts. Game's station was always full of surprises, from teaching the kids how to play soccer to the kids teaching the team how to play Mr. Bear! Bible Story was always animated, and the kids enjoyed eating snacks while they learned about Jesus performing miracles. Last but definitely not least, the kids loved making little lunchboxes and coloring over in crafts station. All around, the team and the kids had lots of fun and made many sweet memories. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for Union Grove's relationship with the kids at Rosamond. Thank you, Union Grove, for giving your all this week!
- Brianna & Holly

National

FUMC Marble Falls came to love on the kids at National this week. The kids had a blast at songs having dance battles, playing freeze dance, and singing Bible Club songs at the top of their lungs. Crafts was a hit as well; the kids loved making candy boxes and pop up coloring sheets. The team was determined to go out and find as many kids as possible to get loved on and hear the Gospel. God is SO faithful and sent us 62 kids on Monday! I watched as 62 kids were loved on, fed, and got to hear the greatest news of Jesus. We were reminded of how much God loves this city and his children and how special it is that He chooses us to share in his work. On Friday, the team provided each kid with a bag of snacks. The kids were so excited! Week after week, we are seeing these kids’ hearts transform. God is alive and doing big things in the hearts of kids at National Bible club. Continue to pray for the next few weeks. I know God will do many more great things!

Guernsey

G-Street did it up big for the Fourth of July! A huge thank you to FBC Liberty for coming into town. This team has been coming for many years, so it was very sweet to watch them reconnect and love on kids they remembered from previous trips. This team’s passion kept the stations fun and interactive. They even brought 74 kids out to Bible Club on Thursday! It was awesome to see new faces out at club, and I am excited to see what God has planned next for Guernsey. Every day FBC Liberty had new games prepared for the kids including relay races, kickball, and a target game out of a tarp that the kids could throw balls through. Songs station created posters every day with lyrics to fun songs. The kids sang along, danced with the props, and even got to take home the colorful posters. It was so sweet to watch how excited the kids were to take the posters home, and to watch the kids walk home with posters that were bigger than them! Cortavious told me that he was going to hang the poster in his kitchen so everyone could know about Jesus. The Lord is doing great things at G-Street! A big thank you to FBC Liberty and we are excited to see you next year!

Johson

What an awesome 4th of July we had this week with Arcadia First Baptist Church from Santa Fe! Johnson got the ability to minister to kids for this entire week thanks to Arcadia FBC! We had a patriotic week filled with some of the most American things you can think of, from football and relay races to playdough. Most importantly, this week was filled with lots of love and lessons about Jesus! Thanks to the contagious love poured out by Arcadia this week, kids came out to enjoy Bible Club – and even celebrate the 4^th of July! The kids were shown so much love this week, and we were blessed to we have some salvations occur throughout the week. Amazing! We can’t wait to continue this work at Johnson next week! Thank you, Arcadia FBC!

- Kenni & Tedder

Whittier

This week at Whittier was like no other! We are so thankful to Ridgedale Baptist for coming this 4th of July week so we could have Bible club and show the love of Christ to the Whittier kids for another week. Games station was one of the highlights this week where the kids playing lots of cornhole and sharks and minnows. Crafts also consisted of fun activities throughout the week, including making puppets of Joseph with his coat of many colors, salvation bracelets, Styrofoam crosses, and even bird feeders! Songs station had plenty of new songs and Bible Club songs! One of the songs the kids learned and loved last week, so it was awesome to see that connection transfer. Last but not least, each day the Bible story explained a different aspect of how God relates to us. We are so thankful to Ridgedale for sacrificing their time and efforts to come to Memphis so we could have Bible club and love on our precious kids. Also, a special thank you to a few extra helpers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - y’all are so appreciated! Please continue to pray for safety and TONS of kids to come to Bible club. Ultimately, please pray for understanding and acceptance of the gospel in the hearts of this community. God is working big time over at Whitvegas!

- Claire & Special K

Que Que

This 4th of July week was filled with 4 things: red, white, blue, and Jesus.

People say that leadership is reflective and the best way to lead is by example. This week, that was evident in the most wonderful way. The leadership from Valley View UMC created a beautiful chain, from the youth pastor to the students, from the students to the kids at Bible Club. Valley View UMC showed our Bible Club kiddos so much love. For the first time ever at bible club Que Que, our team brought out puppets to tell the Bible story, and the kids responded so well. That wasn’t the only experiment done though. Did I mention we had a science station? So cool, right? The kids were super engaged with hands-on science experiments that tied back to the Bible story. It was an incredible week at Que Que, with a high of 60 kids on Friday. Kaden, Ashley, and I are extremely grateful for the willing hearts and hands of Valley View UMC. We look forward to seeing them again soon!

Week 4 - FBC Paris, Broad River Baptist Association, The Word Community Church, Valley View Baptist Church, Arrowwood Baptist Church, FBC Amory, New Pleasant, & FUMC Wamego

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!

- Brianna & Kenni

Guernsey

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!

- Abbey & Katie

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!

- Morgan & Allie

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.

QueQue

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.

Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.

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.
