We have seen a HUGE climb in numbers this year in Discovery Club!! Praise God!! As we are getting used to these new numbers, our fearless volunteers have been such a blessing to these kids. Carrie Grinsteiner experienced her first time serving and did a wonderful job. We have had some great times in Games as well with human foos ball (thanks to Kevin Murphy), tennis practice (thanks to Peter Kurtz) and lots of fun with balloons and relays (thanks to Brian Fowler and John Plong). We have stretched our creative muscles in Skills with Andy Fendryk, Nancy Mullins, and Lisa Albrecht, creating posters, shirts, and decorated gourds. Our teachers and chaperones have done an amazing job in Doscovery Club and Scooters (pre-k)with the lessons, activities, skits, and bible verses. The kids are also learning some fun songs you may just hear during a Sunday service ;)
Thanks for all your support of this program. When you give to the church, you are investing in the eternal futures of these kids. Thank you for allowing our volunteers and myself to serve the kids of North Shore in this way. If you want to join us and see what all the fuss is about, let me know and we can get you in a postion that would fit your comfort level. I will say, the sacrifice of time and energy is a little daunting sometimes, but God shows up and blesses me so much through these kids. Because of my sacrifice, God can show me more of Himself than I would be able to see if I was working in my comfort zone. Blessings to all!!
