Discovery Club Update!!

We had a FANTASTIC first night back to Discovery Club on the 18th!! We had some new faces and got to reconnect with our friends we may not have seen in a while. The kids enjoyed a snack, some songs and prayer time, then we split up in our age groups and our wonderful volunteers took it from there!! It was fun to see some of the kids move from our preschool program to the Discovery Club. They were very excited to be with the "big kids"!!    

Our Discovery Club teacher, Bill Verschay did an excellent job teaching about how we are fearfully and wonderfully made, the memory verse of the night being Psalm 139:14. Andy Fendryk lead the Skills section of our night, which consisted of making our attendence posters for the year, as well as answering the questions "Who is God?" , "Who is Jesus?", "Who is the Holy Spirit?", and " Do I believe God loves me?". These questions started some great conversatoons and made the kids stop and think about what they believe. I am trusting God will grow in their hearts in a big way this year. Brian Fowler was our Games leader, and boy did he have some fun in store for the kids!! If you attended our Adult Bible Study groups, I am sure you heard the kids in the gym
.. along with Brian's amazing whistling abilities. (Brian may have to start helping me get the kids quiet EVERY week ;)!!)

Our preschool program was headed up by Judy Demein and Cindy Verschay, who did an absolutely amazing job teaching and loving on those little ones.


I am so incredibly thankful for all of the volunteers who gave their time and talent to this night. If you saw me on Wednesday, you can probably tell that I wouldnt be able to do this by myself. I am so excited to see how God is going to use North Shore to impact these kids lives and, essentially, His Kingdom!!

I so appreciate your prayers and continued loyalty to our kids.

We had a blast at VBS (52 kids, 25 Bibles given out, 2 salvations, and a TON of fun memories!!) but now it is time to get ready for DISCOVERY CLUB!! This year, we will be Discovering Gods Love. This curriculum will lead us into a deeper knowledge of Gods love for us. I can't wait!!!

Also, we will be bringing back THEME NIGHTS!! Feel free to dress up in the nightly theme and have some fun!! You may even see some of the grown ups dressed up!! Here are September's themes:

September 18th- RED AND BLUE NIGHT!! ( Kick the year off right in Club Colors!!)

September 25- CRAZY HAIR NIGHT!! ( This one is always a blast!! :))

If you have something special from which you think these kids would benefit and are looking for a ministry in which to serve, DISCOVERY CLUB IS FOR YOU!! Our volunteers are amazing, but there is always room for one more :) Please feel free to talk to our volunteers to find out more, or come talk to me if you think this may be a good fit for you. It is not a weekly commitment and there will be a meeting during which we will equip you to do this job with excellence. You can also shadow someone to see if this is a good fit before you commit. We would love to have you.

CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU SEPTEMBER 18TH!!!
