1st Explorers After-School Ministry Update

Such a busy and fun week! Cheryl Beck, Reverend Blake Daniel, and Generation Kids led Chapel this week. On Tuesday, 1st Explorers watched in awe as Emily Taylor dissected the center of one of the sunflowers that were planted in the spring on the front lawn of the Mission and Fellowship Center. 

Wednesday was the RA and GA kickoff party. The children cheered on the leaders during a frozen T-shirt competition! Generation Kids came on Thursday for an exciting time of games, dancing, candy, and glow sticks. In spite of the heat, a lot of time was spent outside.  

Thank you to the door volunteers and everyone that donated items from the wish list. A special thanks to Dennis Wilkey for making new cornhole boards for the 1st Explorers to enjoy!

And, speaking of the Wish List, because of your generous spirit, our list is getting smaller, but, there are a few things we still need. An on-going and very important need is SNACKS -- popcorn, apples, applesauce, graham crackers, cookies, fruit cups, gelatin cups, snack crackers, etc. If you or your Sunday School class or missions group would be interested in providing snacks occasionally during the year, please contact Melanie Stokely. Otherwise, just leave snacks on the cart at the back door. Snacks are needed for 36-40 people.

We are still in need of hula hoops, a checkers set, a chess set, and card table. Thank you for your willingness to be part of this important ministry of our church!
