Update: The Word is Out!

This weekend, an official announcement was made from the stage in "big church" letting our members know that instead of doing Vacation Bible School this summer, we will be taking it into area neighborhoods and reaching more unchurched kids than ever before, by hosting Backyard Bible Clubs....and the response is good!

We are so excited to see all of the folks signing up to host BBC this summer. We have already heard of many creative folks who are putting their own spin on the BBC concept. Some are planning on doing a five-session BBC, one day a week for five weeks, rather than five days in a row. One group is rotating homes each day to allow more moms to open their homes and share in the fun. Another group is planning their BBC in Park Circle during the same week as Nerve2Serve Missions Week. The N2S Kids will be helping as part of their "serve in the community" missions project. Those are just a few examples of how we can work together to accomplish more.

If you have a creative idea for hosting your BBC, share with the rest of us by leaving a comment on this post. We would love to hear your ideas!

FYI: If you haven't received your Starter Kit yet, be watching for it in the mail this week.
