Guernsey
First Baptist Church Jamestown was hanging out with the cool kids on G-Street this week! In songs station we all had a blast singing the Fruits of the Spirit and having competitions to see who could dance the best and shout the loudest! The kids also loved dancing to the Church Clap and learning a new dance to Let it Go! In Bible Story, Mrs. Lucille taught the kids how to trust God by sharing the story of when Saul become Paul and about God’s redeeming love from creation to the resurrection. On Friday we learned the importance of including others and sharing the gospel. We played some lively games of church tag, sailors and sharks, Mr. Bear, category ball, and lots of sharks and minnows and obstacle courses. In crafts, the kids made beautiful bracelets and adorable bookmarks covered in stickers. On Friday, the kiddos were given wooden cross necklaces that everyone was able to sign as a reminder of their friends and to pray for each other. The fun didn’t stop at dismissal! As the kids were walking home each route played games to help them get home safely. They lined up and pretended to be a train with a conductor, passengers, an engine, and a caboose! The kids also played jump the lava with the puddles that they passed on the way home after club on Friday! Thank you, Jamestown, for always bringing so much fun year after year! Praying for another awesome week next week!

National
Bible Club National was the place to be this week! Munford Baptist Church, from Munford, Tennessee, did an incredible job serving our whole community. We are extremely grateful that they continue to join us and love on the National kids year after year. The kids had a blast at Crafts Station this week making foam visors and bead butterflies, as well as painting and decorating crosses. Everyone had tons of fun at Games Station playing sharks and minnows, Mr. Bear, tug-of-war, and running through obstacle courses! The National kids enjoyed songs station where they sang fun bible club songs like “Little Red Wagon” and played “Doggy, Doggy, Where’s Your Bone?”. Most importantly, the Gospel was reinforced all week at Bible Story. The kids heard stories of the Israelites traveling through Egypt and some of their challenges with Pharoah. Later in the week, they learned about Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the salvation offered to us through this truth. The kids had so many great questions to ask about the Bible stories and were super excited to learn more about the Israelites and about Jesus. Munford Baptist loved on the kids with their whole hearts and we are so happy they joined us at National this week. We cannot wait for the rest of the summer at Bible Club National!

Rosamond
FBC Jamestown brought the heat at Rosamond this Fourth of July week! FBC Jamestown has been serving Bible club Rosamond for many years and each year they get to meet the kids where they’re at and rekindle relationships from years past. One of the older girls knows and remembers many of the team members by name! How cool is that? The kids at Rosamond had a blast learning how God helps us be bold, have hope, forgive, and be good friends. They created a chant to help reinforce the stories and each group tried to be the loudest. On the last day, the crafts station had wooden cross necklaces for all the kids and team members to sign throughout Bible club and take home to pray for each other. I know the members of FBC Jamestown will be praying for those kids for years to come. This week we ended with a little rain but that didn’t stop anyone from sharing the Gospel and loving this community. We had a consistent high of 26 kids throughout the week at Bible Club today! And we are continuing to meet new kids every day! FBC Jamestown graciously brought backpacks filled with school supplies, hygiene items, and a Bible and I cannot wait for the kids to be able to continue to learn about Jesus on their own and share with their families. What a wonderful week serving alongside FBC Jamestown; we cannot wait to serve with you all again soon!

Whittier
Praising God for a wonderful week 5 at Whitvegas! We cannot thank Anna Heights Baptist from Anna, IL enough for coming to serve with us, especially with it being the week of the 4th of July. We know it’s an extra sacrifice to give up this holiday week and are genuinely so appreciative. Without y’all, these kids wouldn’t have gotten another full week of Bible club. Thank you for helping us stay consistent at Whittier this summer so the kiddos can continue to count on Bible club every day. Not only that, but we are so thankful for your preparation and thought you put into every station. Every station was full of unique activities that kept the kids excited about coming to Bible Club. They loved making their very own dry-erase boards, salvation jewelry, scrolls & sand-filled crosses in crafts, loved playing musical chairs in songs & were mesmerized by the puppets at the beginning of club on Monday & Thursday. Also, Bible Story was extra special with different activities to keep everyone engaged including play dough, bracelets, washing rocks like Jesus washed His disciples' feet, and making their own mud to symbolize when Jesus used mud to heal a blind man. Lastly, games were a blast with a variety of games throughout the week - from the classics like Mr. Bear & Duck Duck Goose to Bucket Ball and a balloon popping game. It was such a fun week with lots of Jesus shared - even through a rainy Friday. Thank you again Anna Heights for loving this community so well and sharing Jesus with the Whitvegas kiddos. Thank you for planting new seeds, watering others that have already been planted, and ultimately allowing God to bring growth.
“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
1 Corinthians 3:6 NIV
