BBC: Teens

The Summer Bible Club 4 Jr Highers!  

For years, I have told kids and parents that when a child reaches around 12 1/2 years old, I suddenly go from being "the cool teacher" to being "the weird teacher."  I just don't connect very well to 12 1/2 to 15 year olds.  Yet at the same time, I know this age group really needs a summer Bible club just for them.  So I have been praying for someone to come along to reach this age group for Jesus.  

About a month ago, I was sharing this dream to Rachel when she commented, "My husband Matt would be perfect for this!"  She immediately described my dream to Matt, who is a jr high gym teacher.  Within two weeks, Matt and Rachel decided that if they could find babysitters for their youngest two kids, they would run BBC: Teens!  

Then I shared this dream and the babysitting need to my Ladies Bible Study Group.  Before we could even pray about this, Joyce said, "I will babysit the kids!"  

So BBC: Teen will begin on Thursday, June 18 at 9:30 am.  It will run at the same time as BBC: Newmanstown.  Both the elementary and teens will spend the first 1/2 hour together as they sign in, complete a craft and play various "playground" games (ie. gaga ball, four square, etc.).  Then the two groups will split for Bible Times and Group Games.
