Holday Bible Club

[Invicta]

Our church is holding a HBC for three days next week. This will be the first time since we became members over 20 years ago.  We wrote to all the primary schools in the area and ask if we could give them leaflets.  The first to reply was the Catholic School who asked for 360.  Overall we have given the schools 1500 leaflets, but if we have many more than 50 children, we may struggle to cope.  There used to be a man from a nearby church who ran a Sunshine Corner on the grassy slopes above the beach in the summer, but he went to be with the Lord a few years ago.  In a town about 5 miles away there is a church that holds a HBC in the summer holidays.

Hey there.

How did the Holiday Bible Club go?

Do you have any specific prayer requests?

It starts on Wednesday Bob.  It runs from Wednesday till Friday.  Your retired former pastor Mike, is a member at our church,  His wife Maureen is the main mover behind it.  Our youth leaders, David and Tom were down the church today, setting up equipmet.  I arrived and they asked if I had arranged for Jewsons, the builders merchant next door, to loan us some bags of sand and some bricks to weigh some of tables down which they have on end to mount displays. When I said that I had, they said they would go and collect them, I said I would go and se them and see if they would bring them.  They arrived with them all in about 10 minutes.  I am not actually involved but my son in law is coming over from Ashford to help.  When he has finished for the day, he plans to rip out my kitchen and install a new floor..  

Pray for  all the children who will come and all the helpers, that they may be led by the Lord.

Sorry I did not get back before but because of work my son in law is doing the electricity has been off and my battery was flat.  Wednesday, the first day, we had only seven children 3 from our families, and one from Sunday School, and three new children, one from the Catholic school who brought fis younger brother and a friend.  

My s-i-l said they shouldn't be disheartened as their church started with only a few and gradully built up over the years.  Last summer they had 53 and only two of those were new ones.  They do have a larger group of young families in their church than we do.  The three saia they would not be able to come back today as they thought it was only for one day.  

Today there were only five.  Two from our families came, the third had family commitments.  The friend of the catholic also returned. and one who had been to our mothers and toddlers when he was younger.

We will pray for tomorrow.

Don't be disheartened if numbers are low; the Lord knows those who are His, and every one of those given to Christ by the Father WILL come to Him (John 6 v 37).

When I'm passing out tracts I often find there are few who seem to show any interest but I rest in the sovereignty of God.

Kind regards

We had 8 on Friday.  Over the 3 days we had 8 youngsters who were new to us.  Small beginnings.

[HappyChristian]

Eight is great! Starting small, training them. I'm glad your church was able to do this.
