Kid's Club at a Glance

In Warm Springs, we do our Kid's Club at the Boys and Girls Club from 3-5. The kids leave their elementary school and come straight over for a few hours until someone picks them up. The first hour of our time we play games like kickball, foursquare, and jump rope. We also have a few crafts, sidewalk chalk, and "something special" such as bubbles, kites, marble mazes, etc. Then we have a snack and story. I am in charge of the story/skit/songs everyday which has been really fun! Our stories this week were all about Jesus being born-- Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, and angels. The kids get to be in the skit and wear little costumes. I narrate and give them the lines. Some of them get really into it and some are really shy :) Then I ask a few questions and we sing a few songs. Favorites include: "My God is So Big" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". Then we play for a little bit longer until they start leaving.

A few highlights:

*The first day upon arrival a kid saw us and yelled "The church people are here!!! We missed you!!!"

*Seeing kids reunite with team members after connections had been made in the previous years

*Breaking up a fight between Mary and Joseph

*After the skit about Joseph and the Angel I asked the question, "What did we learn from this story?" and a girl replied, "That it's ok to get married even when you are confused!" haha

*Tallia reading Bible stories with a team member, Katherine

*Watching Nyleisha, a special needs girl, blossom over the week. Will post about her soon!

*Great conversations with June and Clarissa who work at the Boys and Girls Club

Please pray for these very special and beautiful children!
