Club 56 Updated Update!

Hello Club56ers and families!

Sorry to break this to you, but it has come to our attention that the 2nd and 4th Sundays in May fall upon Mother's Day and Memorial Day Weekend. So we modified next month's schedule, here are the evening events:

April 22- Survival night at the church from 6pm to 8pm. We will learn important survival and emergency preparedness skills and play some fun themed games.

May 6- Family Game Night. The whole family is invited to the church from 6pm to 8pm for board games, card games, mingling, and other fun activities. 

May 20- Club56 Banquet. There will be a costume theme, tons of food, and tons of fun as we say farewell to the 6th graders moving to the Youth Group. We will need a few parent volunteers to help with cooking.

This is the finalized schedule. Please let us know if you'd like to volunteer for any of our events! 

Love and peace,

Mitchell and Christine

These kits bring so much joy to people, and we are now a part of that! This was such a success, we will definitely be working with them again in the future! Speaking of service opportunites, mission trips are just around the corner! Applications were due last Sunday, but there are still sports available! We will also begin our fundraising this week. Please read the bake sale announcement from Theresa and Sarah Kamphaus: Hey you! Yes YOU! Are you going on any mission trips this summer? Is the price a little too high? Do you want to do something about it? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions then you need to bake? Bake? Did you just read that right? Yes, yes you did, don’t go get reading glasses. Why bake you ask? Because the youth bake sale is this Sunday!!!! And we need cookies! Pies! Cupcakes and any other baked goods you can think of!!!! So bake away chefs and earn money to shorten you financial path to mission trips this summer!!!! Peace.
