Weekly Kids Club
Read the Bible story in Spanish or English– each week kids hear a Bible story. The story is planned in advance. We always need someone to read it in Spanish, and recently, there has also been a need for someone to read it in English.
Lead the craft – if the person who plans the craft can’t attend, we need a different person to lead it.
Provide pizza – each week, the kids enjoy pizza at the end of their time together. Kids club depends on volunteers to provide the pizzas. The good news is that to provide pizza, you don’t need to be there. You can order ahead and communicate with the team about when the pizza will be delivered.
Plan the craft – if you enjoy art or creating, this role is for you. While you can plan the craft and also be there to lead it, if you can’t make it, you can plan a craft, provide supplies and directions, and coordinate with a lead to get the materials to them prior to Wednesday night.
Celebrations

Plan and/or attend annual Christmas Party– our annual Christmas Party at has become a Kids Club tradition. All are welcome to attend, but we also need a group of people to help with the planning. This year's party will be on 12/14 from 3-5 pm.

While the hope of the gospel has been spreading for thousands of years, millions of people have not yet had an opportunity to hear it. Determined to reach the ends of the earth with the Good News, we dedicate ourselves to the relentless pursuit of the unreached. For more than 40 years, in partnership with their local churches, Pioneers missionaries have been using innovative and creative means to bring the gospel to every corner of the globe.ia & Matt Howe
