5 Day Club

This week we enjoyed having half the neighborhood over every day for one hour of fun songs, Bible stories, missionary stories, and free candy! We had a total of 16 kids come and go throughout the week, enthusiastically participating in all the club has to offer. The club was taught by trained teachers from Child Evangelism Fellowship.
I loved watching 3 and 4 year old's raise their hands and answer questions right along with the 8 and 9 year old's. We had a 15 year old who enjoyed acting out the Bible characters during the Bible stories. We had a broad range of kids come, but they all did so well with listening and participating!

Monday and Tuesday the weather was very warm but we met outside anyway on the deck under a tent. By Wednesday, I had to come up with another plan before all the kids melted from the humidity outside. So our Backyard Bible Club turned into Basement Bible Club.

The kids enjoyed acting out the characters from the Bible Story of the Good Samaritan. We had Jesus, the Lawyer, the robbers, the Priest, the Levite, the Samaritan, and several other characters.


The kids (and some adults) really got into the hand motions during the songs!

Thank you to all the kids who came, learned their Bible verses and participated so well! Thank you also to my friends and neighbors who helped me out watching Emma during club, loaned me the tent, and brought your kids over each day!
