Good News Clubs

GOOD NEWS CLUBS

Our church hosts Good News Clubs that meet weekly after school. Sponsored by Child evangelism Fellowship, a Good News Club (GNC) is a fun and exciting way for school children to gather to learn about God. Last year we held clubs at Pelican Marsh, Osceola, and Lake Park Elementary. We would love to increase the number of schools that we meet in. Presenting Bible stories, teaching Bible Memory verses, singing songs, reading missionary stories, playing Bible
review games, praying and sharing snacks are just some of the ways our dedicated volunteers share God’s love with the children each week. This year we will be studying the Beginnings, the Patriarchs, and Joseph. Through these lessons the children will learn Biblical principles, moral values, character qualities, and respect for authority. Central to the Club is the sharing of the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. Several children have prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior and as a result of receiving an invitation at GNC, they and their families have begun to attend our church. We look forward to inviting the children from GNC to our VBS and other children’s ministries that take place on our campus.

Specific prayer requests for the clubs would be:
• volunteers to share God’s love with the children
• have extra teams to go into new schools
• for salvation for the children and their families
• children to grow in the knowledge of the Word
• and for the children to invite their friends at school.
