Our youth are allows meeting on the first Saturday afternoon of each month to read
and discuss the book “Steps to Christ”. We are going through the steps in Salvation
and Conversion. On completing this book each student will then need to share what
they have learned with someone else.
Our club is also preparing for the International Camporee in Oshkosh, WI in August
of 2009. We will be meeting with over 30,000 other pathfinders to spend a week of
fun, games and spiritual growth.
To help raise money for our trip we are making items for an auction the first of
June. We will be auctioning all the items we have made in our life skills classes.
We are also accepting donations of hand crafted items for our auction.
In conjunction with the camporee we are collecting as many Bibles as possible to
take with us. The Bibles are sent to English speaking countries where they are given
to those who do not have Bibles. We ask that for each Bible donated a dollar be
given to help with the cost of shipping. There is a box in the lobby of the church
where Bibles can be placed. Please place the dollar inside the front cover.
If you would like to join our club registration is in August of each year. Our next
registration will be August 23, 2009 at 10:00am at the church. We welcome all who
would like to join. The club dues are $5.00 a month per person.
