*2023 CHRISTMAS PARTY CLUBS (CPCs) HOLDING THROUGHOUT DECEMBER*
Dear Aunties & Uncles,
Greetings to you and yours in the name of the Lord!
Following the arrangements for the CPCs that are happening across the State, here are some guidance and vital instructions:
*A. ESSENCE OF A CPC*
Many children, today, *donβt regularly attend Church and have never heard the true meaning of Christmas*. Christmas Party Club is one of the Party Club Ministries of Child Evangelism Fellowship that presents the Gospel to Churched and unChurched children. *Christmas Party Clubs include a Gospel-centered Bible lesson, games, a memory verse, songs, and more* to teach children around the world about the true story of Christmas.
Children learn about how God can give every child the best gift β salvation. Through a Christmas Party Club, *you and your Church can work alongside CEF to reach the children in your community with the true story of Christmas* this year.
1. Each Teacher that *plans to ORGANIZE a CPC* will be the Team Leader responsible for the overall implementation of the CPC.
2. A Teacher who *successfully organizes a CPC will SEND A REPORT of the CPC* together with clear photos and/or short videos and impactful Testimonies (if any).
*B. THINGS TO DO*
*BEFORE YOUR CPC*
1. *Pray. Pray. Pray.* Pray....for the success of program and the children's hearts to be opened to receive the word of God without being familiar with it.
