Kid's Club--a huge success

Summer Kid's Club this year was the perfect opportunity for kids to learn about Jesus and to have some fun too. It was also the perfect place for parents to not only drop their kids off for a few hours, but to learn about New Life and what we are all about.

This year's Summer Kid's Club theme was Son Rock Kids Camp and would not have been possible without the following people giving their time and their skills:

Jim Boswell, Adam Galema, Brian LeRoy, Kyle Lynas, Kaitlyn Klotz, Lori and Eric Shaw, and the Ivy family, all stepped up and volunteered to help out on the first water night. The kids had a blast!

Georgiann Hany was in charge of crafts and did an amazing job! She is so talented and was a true blessing to the kids.

Mimi and Kimmi Klotz were in charge of music and really got the kids excited to sing "SON ROCK KIDS CAMP!"

Landi Moore lead the Bible studies each week and truly put her heart and soul into the stories to get the kids excited about Jesus.

Kristian Frye was in charge of the skits, and her and Shane Frye designed an awesome set. It couldn't have been possible without them and the actors!

Brian LeRoy and Adam Galema were in charge of recreation for the kids and they did a great job coming up with games and had a creative use of supplies.

Thanks to everyone else who helped out. It couldn't have been done without you--and God truly used you as His hands and feet these past two months!

Each week we had at least 40 kids or more! The kids also collected over 100 canned foods for the community food pantry. This Kids Club has truly blessed this church and the community. Here are some truly moving stories about how Kids Club has changed lives:

A single dad with a baby daughter asked about Sunday services and wanted to know
more information about the church. Also, a father of two kids who came to Kids
Club wrote a check to the church just because he felt blessed by our church. One
of the single moms in the community said with tears in her eyes that she was
blessed that she had a free and safe place to bring her child.
God has truly blessed this church and has been working through the church and this Kids Club in the past two months. Please be sure to welcome any new faces you see at church and make them feel welcome!

God is great and He loves you!
