Backyard Bible Clubs are coming to a neighborhood near you this summer! Since we are building all summer long and cannot host VBS, we decided this would provide us with a great opportunity as the body of Christ, to reach out to our neighbors. We need many of you to volunteer to be a host home and invite your neighbor’s kids to come for a Backyard Bible Club (sort of an at home VBS!).

What does this involve? 

Dates: 

  • Pick a week that works best for your family 
  • June 6-10, June 13-17, June 20-24, June 27-July 1 
  • July 4-9, July 11-15, July 18-22, July 25-29 

 

Times: 

  • Each day the club runs for about 2 to 2 ½ hours 
  • You choose the time! 
  • 9:00 – 11:30 am or 2:00 – 4:00 pm or 5:00 – 7:00 pm or any other 2 to 2 ½ hour block of time that works for you during the week 

 

Hosting: 

  • Use your yard as the gathering spot for the week 
  • Hand out postcard invitations to your neighbors (we supply these) 
  • Supply a small snack & water 

 

Teaching: 

  • We are using Truth 78 Curriculum and teaching Things Hidden—A Study for Children on Kingdom Parables 

Jesus’ parables—"beyond the mere words of the parables are deep, hidden spiritual truths—truths like the Kingdom of God is a treasure worth more than all we have, God welcomes repentant 

I am so very excited about this opportunity to reach out to our neighbors and share the gospel; and look forward to Cornerstone families hosting many Backyard Bible Clubs this summer! Please, email Mary Steele if you have questions or are interested in hosting. We will have a quick training session to help you get started on planning.
