Like the past few years, we hosted Bible Club for all three kids’ grades at our house – well, 2nd and 4th at our house and 6th grade at GJs! Frank’s grandmother handles that one and I’m totally hands off. It’s been a great program for these kids all through elementary and I really am thankful for how much she poured into those boys. I think she’s going to miss that crew next year when they are at the JH!
The 2nd grade girls came on Tuesday mornings. We got a bit more streamlined with food and Fran picked up the same breakfast for them each morning – bacon biscuits from the Pig!
We even had a guest speaker for the last one – Etiquette with Amy!
The 4th grade boys come on Wednesday morning and I think we’ve finally learned how to keep them all under control. A few minutes of basketball, then we lined them up along the brick wall and give them breakfast while a dad teaches the lesson. They they get to play some sort of game about the information and I’ve been very pleasantly surprised with how much of the information they are actually retaining! We also made breakfast much easier for the boys this year. Everyone sent me money and I order Krispy Kreme to be delivered to by doorstep at 6:45 every week! Doesn’t get easier than that.
The early mornings get a little rough but it’s nice to do it and it’s a good way to get to know the kids in their grade!
What a great idea!
Nice way for the kids to form lasting friendships!
This is good work that goes farther than you think. There is not enough being taught in the schools.
Glad we can help them grow spiritually as well.
