Leahy’s
It was an incredible week serving alongside South Walker Baptist Church at Bible Club Leahy’s this week! Our kids learned so much about Jesus and had tons of fun! The highest number of the week was sixteen kiddos!! Each station was full of energy, and the noise was made all over club. They acted out bible stories, had props, and let the kids take on items connected to the bible story! They read the story about breaking bread and brought rice cakes for the kids to snack on. Also, through another story, they reminded the kids we are gems and had some for the kids to take home. At the craft station, they made noise makers out of toilet paper rolls, and the kids loved decorating them! Also, they made train tracks and hand hearts. The kids had a blast creating and decorating all their crafts. Games were a huge hit with all the fun games!! They had a pool noddle with a cup full of water attached at the top, the goal was for the kids to pass the noddle without pouring the water out. They played the tell-a-phone game, and the kids loved trying to hear the funny sayings! Also, they stood in a circle and tried to kick a soccer ball between their friends’ legs. The Lord moved in incredible ways this week and I cannot wait to see all that the Lord is going to do in the weeks to come!

Johnson
Whats cookin', Bible Club fans?!?! Hope your summer has been as awesome as it's been here at Club Johnson! Week 4 was such an incredible week with Redeemer Community in town. Club was so fun from beginning to dismissal. We saw our club high of the week on Friday Funday with 31 kiddos hearing about Jesus. We even got to see some new kids who we haven't seen all summer show up. The entire week, the focus was on the fruits of the Spirit and how we can apply them to our lives to live how Jesus would want us to. And each station centered around that main idea. Games got to see a huge and exciting scavenger hunt for different fruits (of the Spirit, of course!). And who doesn't love a fun game of duck, duck, goose? And along with classic Bible Club songs, Music station got to see the kids learn a new Fruit of the Spirit song that they all sang together at the end of club on Friday. The kids got to make a decorated jar for Crafts in which they could put fruit candy, or chocolate, and they also got to paint different fruits on some canvases. The kids had such a blast that paint may or may not have ended up on some faces!! Thank you so much Redeemer Community, for an incredible Bible Club. Until next week, everyone! God Bless!

Jackson
We had so much fun this week at Bible Club Jackson! It was such a blessing to have Headland church here at Street Reach for week four. Throughout this week at Bible, we went through stories of the death and resurrection of Jesus, and how we can be fishers of men for Jesus. At crafts, we had so much fun making flip-flops, salvation bracelets, and Jesus fish key chains. At songs, we had so so much fun with the parachute Headland brought for the kids, learned how to cha-cha slide, and danced hard to Little Sally Walker. At games, this week’s team had intense soccer matches with the older boys, fun times while playing freeze tag and jump rope with the older girls, and classic fun with the littles with duck, duck, goose. It was so sweet to see the team grow so close to the kids and the kids grow so close to the team. All the jump rope competitions, bubble-blowing, and piggyback rides have made for some great memories here at Jackson. It was fantastic to have such a heartfelt team welcome 20 of our kids this week and push them to dig deeper and ask more questions about the Bible. Headland will be missed by the Street Reach staffers, and we cannot wait to see them again to run around with our Jackson kids. We can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for us the rest of this summer and can’t wait to have more fun with our kids here at Bible Club.

Rosamond
Week four with Paris was a great week at Rosamond! Paris drove from Paris, Illinois to come do a Bible club at Rosamond. Thanks for making it a fun, energetic week! We wouldn’t have been able to run Rosamond without y’all! We had a lot of kids throughout the week who all learned about Jesus, made crafts, sang songs, and played games. Our week high was 21 kids on Tuesday. Throughout the week, all of our kids learned so much about Jesus. Some of the Bible stories that they learned about were the Last Supper and the story of Peter. The kids made fun crafts such as beaded necklaces, flags, and Rubik’s Cubes. Each team member helped the kids slide the beads on for the beaded necklaces and a cool charm in the middle. The flags they all made were so amazing! All of the kids put something they stood for on the flags. The Rubik’s Cubes already had a picture printed on them, and the kids had a fun time coloring then in. The kids had a fun time in the songs station this week! They played games like hot potato, freeze dance, and they danced to the Cupid Shuffle and Church Clap. In the games station, the older girls played lots of four square and loved to jump rope. The younger kids had a fun time playing duck, duck, goose. Our middle kids played jump rope and limbo. The older boys loved playing jackpot and sharks and minnows. Thanks to Paris again! All of our Rosamond kids had so much fun! We wouldn’t have been able to run Rosamond without you!

Guernsey
Week Four!! This week was a great week over at Guernsey! Tuscaloosa created a great environment for the kids and had very engaged stations. We just want to say thank you for taking care of and loving our kids! You are really making an impact on these kids' lives! The team this week has been coming for years, so they were very glad to continue furthering their relationships with the kids. The most kids we had this week was 25! It is such a blessing to get to spread the gospel with each and every one of them. Throughout the week, something super cool happened, the team gave the kids new shirts to wear. During the songs station, the kids played Hot Potato and Little Sally Walker. The Bible stories covered this week were Adam and Eve, the rich young ruler, John writing the gospel, Daniel following God’s instructions, and Paul writing to Ephesus. To keep the kids engaged, they would ask questions, read a Bible verse together, and pray. Some of the crafts the kids made were paper snakes, which they colored using water color paint, cardboard camels that they colored with markers making papers look old using tea bags that then dried a rustic brown, building flower carts, race cars, and football players using hammers, nails, and glue, and paper bag Pauls that were clothed with ripped paper. At games, they played things like kickball, football, sharks and minnows, and “What time is it Mr. Bear?” It was great to hear the kids laughter throughout club and see their beautiful smiles each day! Thank you again Tuscaloosa for running a great club this week and showing love to not just our kids but yours at Guernsey! Mark 10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Rockpointe Church for their incredible dedication and love shown to our kids this week! Your intentionality and warmth have truly made a difference in our kids. At the game station, the children had a blast reintroducing the game Ships and Sailors. It was wonderful to see them running, laughing, and engaged. The energy was contagious! It was harder for the littles to play, but that was no challenge for our team! When the littles came, they would play duck-duck-goose, which is always a hit! Crafts was equally exciting, with a variety of fun and creative projects. Friday was a highlight, as the kids made colorful megaphones. The excitement on their faces as they showed off their creations was priceless. The kids loved singing our silly songs—especially in the megaphones, which is always sweet to see! Songs were unforgettable, especially when they taught the kids "My God is So Big and So Strong and So Mighty!" in both English and Spanish. It was heartwarming to hear their voices as they sang and danced. It was also sweet that the language barrier was passed, and they found a way to connect with the kids! Bible Story was exceptionally engaging, thanks to the fun and interactive skits. This summer was the first time we had performances at our Bible story! The skits made the Bible stories come to life in a way that captivated the children's attention and kept them engaged the whole time.
Thank you again, Rockpointe Church, for spending a week of your summer with us and the joy you brought to our kids. We appreciate you so much!!

Whittier
What an awesome 4th week at bible club Whittier. Our friends at Rockpointe church did an amazing job. We had a high of 35 kids at bible club. So blessed to have a fantastic group to teach and play with some amazing kids this week. The team did an amazing job teaching In our bible story station about Matthew 21:9: “And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord! Hosanna in the highest!” all the kids got their own “bible club notebook” that they got to fill out all week with pictures, drawings, and stickers. Then take home at the end of the week and absolutely loved them. In the games station, they had so much fun playing drip drip splash with a water bottle. And with the older kids, the game infection. Heading over to the craft station where they made megaphones out of paper to proclaim the good news of Jesus and salvation worms and got to talk a lot about salvation. In the song station, they played freeze dance and the Fruit of the Spirit song which really engaged the kids and was such a good time. I can't thank Rockpointe church enough for serving alongside us and having such an amazing time with the kids.

Kendrick
Week 4 at Kendrick has been an awesome time with Faith Community; they have been so interactive and engaging with the Kendrick kids. I loved seeing the smiling faces of Faith as well as the kids as they were jumping rope. All of the stations were well prepared and fun for all ages; even the structured free play was fun as they played Red light, Green light, Mr Bear, and Sharks and Minnows. All of the Bible stories had pictures with them that engaged the kids, and the best story was the Salvation Story, which got the kids thinking; the crafts were awesome as they had salvation caterpillars, Also the songs playlist was legendary as they had very interactive songs, and all the games that were played the kids enjoyed, duck duck goose, Cheetahs and Rabbits (sharks and minnows), and Soccer. All in all, Faith Community has really left an impact on these kids that they will remember forever, I am so appreciative that they were willing to come to Memphis and minister to the kids here.
