Hi clubbers!
We are so happy we will soon be seeing some of you in-person once again for After School/In School Good News Clubs! Your Good News Club teachers are so excited to come back and they will have brand new Bible lessons to share with you, a great continued missionary story every week, plus songs and games! There may be snacks as well as a contest that will run for a couple months where you can earn rewards for learning your Bible verses, filling out a weekly Take Time to Review paper from the Bible lesson, respecting the rules, and more.
Your parent/guardian must sign you up prior to your first day of club, although you may begin anytime during the year.
Look for information coming for after school Good News Clubs to begin around the week of October 17th! Permission slip per school will be linked here as they are available. As of 9/21/2022, all school clubs are awaiting either district approvals or fully staffed teams. Please check this page for updates through September and October.
PENDING APPROVAL, we hope to see you back at Good News Clubs in:
To Parents:
A Good News Club is a Bible Club for children ages 5-12. It is held one hour and fifteen minutes a week, typically from October through April. These clubs are held wherever children can be gathered. In 2021-2022, we held 5 After School/In School Good News Clubs throughout the county. Clubs are sometimes held in homes, churches, community centers, and daycares. Wherever they are held, Good News Clubs are taught by screened volunteers. We have a 5–year curriculum which is designed to teach through the Bible. This curriculum includes a Bible lesson, Bible memory verse, missionary story, songs, contests, games, and missionary emphasis. The clubs are entirely free for children to participate; any monetary offering collected is given directly to missionaries supported by Child Evangelism Fellowship of Eastern PA, Inc.
The first two Bible lessons we will share through the Wordless Book, a colorful book that tells the story of the Gospel. In these first two lessons, we hope to share foundational Biblical truths found in the Bible. A new series on Joseph from the Old Testament will begin in November! We are excited to share these stories from God’s Word with your students, especially the “Good News” of Jesus Christ.
To remember the stories and truth taught in club, a Take Time to Review is sent home with the students each week. We encourage them to take time during the week to read from the Bible and then to answer the few short questions in the lesson. Although these booklets are not homework, we hope that parents will join us in encouraging your child to develop a daily habit of spending time with God and reading His Word, as well as to memorize each week’s Bible verse.
