HOW ABOUT A NAME FOR YOUR CLUB?--BE THINKING!!!!!

We had a great time!!

"The kick-off was a lot of fun! We had at least thirty kids with their parents--lots of ice cream....and toppings! The k4j kids (preschool and schoolagers) sang their song and recited their verse "Jesus said, Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men!" They were a delight! The Club kids got together for a game of soccer in the parking lot led by the boys club team leaders (high school guys) Tyler Hoffpauir and Brian Lercher--thanks fellas! Father blessed the house for us with the service of Ana Gomez, Monica Griffin,Cawood Thompson, and Jonathan Dove...the house smells like Jesus now and has his loving care surrounding it--thank you to all! The evening ended with a lot of great conversations and hope for building our Youth!" - Jill Thompson
