Every week I (Gwen) help at the Rexford Kids Club. Somehow I ended up with the 3rd-5th grade boys, which is a daunting task at times. It seems like Wednesdays roll around twice as fast as any other day of the week! Since Christmas, our schedule has been thrown out of whack by snow days and scheduled days off, and it feels like we are just getting into the semester when it's really half over.
A friend from church gave me some Sunday School booklets put out when we was a young teen...in 1979. We're going to be using two of these booklets for the remainder of the year, starting with a study on Hebrews for March. At first this seemed too in-depth, too structured for a group of boys that is distracted by just about anything. But we're beginning this week, talking about WHY Jesus is the one we should put our hope in and trying to understand what Christian growth/maturity is and why we would want to pursue it.
Please pray for me on Wednesday afternoons as I try to maintain order with 12 boys who just got out of a long day of school and for whom learning about the Bible is a pretty low priority. I'll be explaining the need for salvation today so that we'll all be starting from the same base, so a lot to cover.
Thanks for praying!
