One of the ladies in our church had a passion and started the processes for a Bible Club in our local elementary school. Surprisingly, even though we were told by a few that it probably wouldn't be granted permission or that it would take a while, after just one week, we were in. We have two weeks under our belt now and all I can say is God is good. We had 25 kids show up the first week, 28 show up the second and we now have over 31 signed up for next Tuesday! We are starting to wonder where we are going to put the kids if too much more show up. That is a good problem to have though right? The kids were so good and listened to the story so much better than I expected them to after a full day of school already under their belt. They were interactive and genuinely seemed to enjoy themselves. We have had a grandparent attend along with her grandson and had good feedback from some parents. One of the little girls that attends has even started coming to church! She is a little spitfire and we enjoy having her :) I was hesitant to get going with this, because so often I feel maxed up, but man when you are doing something great for God, He makes the time and provides the patience needed! I thank God for the opportunity to serve with some more young people and can't wait to see what He has in store for this club.
Next on the list of musts ..... learn their names!!! ;)
