This year our church decided to put on Backyard Bible Clubs instead of doing a Bible School at the church. We were hoping to reach kids that normally wouldn't come to Bible School. I think the church hosted about 7 different clubs in neighborhoods all over the area. We are lucky to be in a neighborhood with many families from church and a big park to host. It was a great week! Extremely hot, but no rain. Praise the Lord! We had around 60 kids come every night and really had a good time.
The first night, Pastor Brooks and another lady put on a puppet show about the prodigal son for the kids. It was hilarious and the kids really loved it!
We sang songs, then broke into 3 groups for the Bible lesson, games, and crafts. Paige did a really good job at memorizing the verses each day. If they remembered the verse from the day before they could pick a treasure. Paige could recite hers (with very little prompting) each night. I was so proud of her.
Alaina didn't participate this year. She got to walk around with Daddy while he took pictures.
This is my group of 6 year olds that I had each night. They were a fun bunch and it was fun for me to experience being with older kids.
This is Paige's group!
By the 3rd night Paige wanted to get up in front to do help lead the actions. It is so neat to see her blossom and experience new things.
