A New Kind of Bible School

For the past two years our church has chosen to change up the way that we present Bible School. We no longer have hundreds of children gathering at our church and learning about the stories of Jesus, instead we are taking the stories of Jesus into our neighborhoods. The idea of reaching out to those closest to you and making an impact where you live is part of the philosophy behind this change. This was our first year attending a "Backyard Bible Club".
Like we always do - we packed up our family and headed down the street. Well technically, it was a few streets away, so we drove to my parents, parked our van there and then walked 2 houses down to the location!
Our big boys filled out name tags and were ready to begin.



We sang songs of Jesus.........





We learned lessons of Moses........







We enjoyed some fun games.........





We made several cute crafts.........







We ate a few yummy snacks.......(and cool refreshing drinks)





And headed home - it was definitely a fun-filled morning that I am hoping our boys will remember. What a great way to celebrate Jesus together as a family and community.
