Club 56 2011/2012 Calendar

On Wednesday nights our ministry doors open at 6:15 p.m. and Club 56 runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on our East Campus during the school year. Over 100 students gather together each week for a ministry that makes service its priority!

2011-12 Theme: Promisekeepers

What is Club 56? Club 56 is a unique ministry where we are seeking to make your 56’er a lover of Jesus Christ through monthly service opportunities, times of teaching, and just plain fun.

Service Opportunities- Every second week of the month we have service nights where our Club 56’ers are exposed to a myriad of service opportunities from preparing meal’s for a local homeless shelter, to preparing meals for children on different continents. Service nights provide your 56’er a unique and incredible opportunity to experience firsthand the joy of serving others. It is our hope that these service nights will instill the desire for service within your students.

Times of Teaching- Twice a month we have “Club nights” that are centered around a time of teaching and a small group experience. During Club your student will enjoy some awesome games and activities before being exposed to dynamic teaching about “Our Great God.” This is serving as our theme for the year, and it is our hope that through both the time of teaching and the times of small groups which follow your student will come to see God as the marvelous and awe inspiring God that He is. Small groups also serve as an excellent opportunity for your student to build deep and lasting relationships with other 56’ers.

Theme - This year's theme is all about the promises of God.  Each week of Club, we will be learning a different promise as we exult in the wonderful truth that we worship and serve a God who is a Promisekeeper.  Our theme is inspired by this quote from Charles Spurgeon, the famous 19th century British preacher, "God is unchanging in his promises.  Ah!  We love to speak about the sweet promise of God; but if we could ever suppose that one of them could be changed, we would not talk anything more about them....  I want immutable (unchanging) things: and I find that I have immutable promises when I turn to the Bible."

Plain Fun- Once a month we have “Outreach nights” where we encourage our Club 56’ers to invite their friends out to get a fun introduction to Club 56. Past Outreach Nights have included everything from a hay ride, to bowling, to moonwalks and soccer here at the Church.

Registration for Club 56 this year will include a 20 dollar registration charge which will be used almost entirely to cover the costs associated with our service nights, specifically the cost of busing our 56’ers to and from Feed My Starving Children in Aurora.

Meets: Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m., Sept - April, East Campus Family Life Center starting September 15.

Registration: Registration fee is $20/student or $30/family.
