I am a strong supporter of churches offering an opportunity for kids to come together during the week to have fun and learn more about Who God Is, how much He loves them and to understand how they can love Him back. I firmly believe a mid-week children's club is an opportunity for churches to have a unique ministry to churched and unchurched children and their families. Some churches put together their own mid week programs and are happy with the results.
Some churches make use of club programs and some are looking for resources.
We will look at a new club curriculum in this issue as well as one other well written club resource. Before we begin to look at these resources I would like to mention a few things I believe we must avoid when it comes to selecting a mid week resource. First, and very importantly, while it is a wonderful thing to encourage children to memorize Scripture, when we build our mid week around Scripture memory and award badges or other awards for memorizing Scripture we are inadvertently making two serious errors. First there are two types of kids in every mid week club . . . Both types of kids are intelligent .
