We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to The MET Students for an amazing week! Our kids loved reconnecting with familiar faces and forming new friendships. Bible Club this week was an absolute delight, especially the final day when we had a water day. The kids had a blast, and their laughter was truly a blessing to hear.
In Games, the kids played Duck-Duck-Goose, participated in a water relay, and enjoyed soccer, among other activities. Their smiles were huge, and they were clearly having the time of their lives. Our song sessions were energetic and fun, featuring favorites like "Deep Cries Out" and the all-time favorite "Fruit of the Spirit." And remember, if you want to be a coconut, you might as well hear it—you can’t be a fruit of the Spirit! Craft time was a hit this week, with creations ranging from necklaces to origami boats. What we love most about crafts is how they always tie into the Bible story. Speaking of Bible stories, the kids were captivated by tales like Joshua and the Battle of Jericho and Peter walking on water.
Once again, thank you for an incredible week filled with love and learning about the Lord. It was a true blessing to have you this week!
“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then, everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 NLT

Whittier
We wouldn’t have wanted to spend our Fourth of July week elsewhere but at Bible Club Whittier! This was made possible by Faith Community Church from Wisconsin graciously spending the week with us at Street Reach. This week was filled with huge smiles and many little laughs. The kids made many different crafts they were able to take home. Some of those are fridge magnets they could decorate with stickers and markers. Another craft was wind chimes made out of ribbon and cardboard toilet paper rolls. A sweet moment was when we were out in the community picking up kids and saw a wind chime hanging on one of the kid’s front porch. Over at games, drip drip splash and sharks and minnows were a hit with the kids. The kids were well engaged in bible stories with big pictures that correlated with the story for the kids to look at. Some of those stories were Jesus walking on water and the death and resurrection of Jesus. On the fourth of July, we had 25 kids come to bible club! Faith Community bought all of the kids ice cream as a special treat on the fourth, which was an especially hot but special day. What an honor it is to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the kids at Whittier. Thank you, Faith Community, for doing just that!!
1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

Leahy’s
Serving alongside Gateway made for an amazing week at Bible Club Leahy’s!! Our kids were shown the love of Jesus in many different ways! On Wednesday, we had twenty kids at club for the highest number of the week! Bible story was a huge hit, with our team telling the stories in Spanish! They heard five amazing bible stories. The favorites were Jonah and the Whale and Jesus Calming the Sea! It was amazing to watch our kids hear a bible story in their first language!! They created boats out of pool noodles and foam pieces! Also, they colored a huge whale with Jonah inside!! The kids loved the coloring books they used throughout the week and loved it even more when they got to take it home! Games station was a huge hit with all the energy, sweat, smiles, and laughs! They played red light, green light, sharks and minnows, and hot potato! We got to gather all together at the start of club to do our songs all together! We were dancing, singing, and laughing together! It was so much fun getting to worship all together! We are so grateful for Gateway taking a week out of their summer to come serve in our community!! We cannot wait to be back next week!!
