About six weeks ago there was a graduation at Bible Club. Back then Alpha kids made the huge step up to Delta. Tension was thick as the kids waited to cite Ephesians 6.10-17. At that time there was one table with two judges who listened to each of the 20 clubbers recited their passage. The whole process took over an hour to complete.
This time the tension was still high but we solved the waiting problem by having helpers from our other churches come to listen to the citations from Psalm 1 and 23. Luciano from Calvary Baptist and Felipe and Joice from Hope made the agony of the wait go quickly.
We also added another rank to the list. Omega joined Alpha and Delta to complete the Company C sectors.
After the memory work Alexandre had us divide into four teams. Each team had list of challenges. We had four digital cameras and a list of pictures to take. We also had a list of names to match with people of the neighborhood.
It was fun to be a part of a group of kid attacking the neighborhood in a good way. Part of the challenge was to hand out 50 tracts. During that hour the four teams handed out 200 to passers-by. As we reunited at the school to see who had won the competition our group had doubled and we had succeeded in bringing back some of the kids who had dropped out of club.
Our attendance was down on Sunday but we were encouraged by the faithfulness of several. After Sunday school we looked at a house that the Lord might be opening for us. Pray for God’s will and protection in this possible purchase.
