One thing I am doing this year is to make each Wednesday night of club a special night that features a particular theme. For some things, not much work is required at all; for others a little more creativity and investment of time will pay dividends towards making good memories. I have been using a digital camera to capture some of the fun we are having and at my end of the year awards program, I plan to show a short Powerpoint presentation of "Our Year in Review." It will give parents some of the highlights of this current year and serve as a promotional for the next year.

Here are the ideas I am using for this current year. Adjust them for your own use as you desire.

Tease those kids who are too cool to participate by complimenting them/

praising them on how much work they did to get such a nasty or ugly or wierd hairdo!

Kids4Truth Activities

Pastor Monty — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 19:11:34 GMT

We are putting into our ministry calendar several special activities for Kids4Truth. A skating event which the entire family is invited to participate, a Race Day again for the entire family, a one-night camp out for the boys, and a sleep-over party for the girls. Each of these activities will "cost" the kids some Depot Dollars to attend. They earn Depot Dollars each week for attendance, bringing their Bible, TruthBook, TruthStandard, and for quoting their truths for the week. We have a "store" they can go "shopping" in during Game Time if they choose. People in our church donate items to the Depot and we've asked community businesses to donate items as well.

If you have some other ideas for "Special Days", post it for the rest of us to see.
