Kids Club 2008


For the past 5 years, Granny's House children have participated in "Kids Club," a week-long summer adventure hosted by The Crossing. This year, this high-energy event drew more than 300 children, and 22 Granny's House kids were part of that crowd!

The Summer 2008 theme, "Amazing World Adventure," centered around the idea that God loves the people of the world. Each night, the children "visited" a new continent and learned about the culture, people and games of that continent. In addition to learning general "knowledge" about each continent, the kids played crazy games, participated in team competitions, and had plenty of opportunities to release all the energy that had been stored up throughout the day.

Each night, as the children made their way into the auditorium for the "opening skit," loud music, dancing and cheering echoed throughout the church auditorium. Our kids had a blast all week and were singing the "Kids Club" cheers every time we saw them!

The week ended with a family celebration where the kids enjoyed international foods, games (including the ever-popular sumo-wrestling) and even live African music. The Granny's House kids are already asking "When is the next 'Kids Club'" Thanks to everyone from The Crossing who enthusiastically welcomed all the precious children from Granny's House!
