BCBC – the first half! (Part 1)

Wow! Time flies!

We started our club here in Bowdoin, Maine at Bowdoin Center Baptist Church (BCBC) on Friday Oct 12. We had 28 kids come (about twice as many as we thought would come!) They arrived by school bus as we are doing an after school club. The bus turns around in the church driveway everyday and doesn’t mind letting kids off.

Since we are a small church, we have workers from 4 other churches as well as our own. This is a great for us as we want this to be something for our community, not just our church.

As time has gone on, we have continued to have 25-28 kids come every week. The ones that have decided to do this come every week (one 4th grade boy even decided to do Awana over basketball!) The kids that come tend to be mainly non-churched kids. They do not know what a Bible is and have never attended church. Many of them have been to VBS but that is their only exposure to church.
