BCP Youth Ministry As they discussed their burden for this with Rev. "Jesus, Others and You" was adopted as a theme song with Psalm 119:105 as the theme verse.

Although interdenominational Bible clubs had been held in homes for years, Virginia Milhim and Elsie Jones believed that there was a need to conduct neighborhood Bible clubs sponsored by local Baptist churches. Robert Hayden and Dr. John Greening, they discovered that there were others who had been praying for a children's program that would work through local Baptist churches. These ladies took t

he step of faith to begin such a program, saying "If there is no such program, we will be the pioneers!"
In September of 1951, JOY Clubs were begun on Long Island, NY in the development areas and housing projects. A series of Bible lessons were taught along with a weekly Bible verse and songs. Bible quizzes and contests were conducted, and a simple award system was presented to the clubbers. Much prayer was offered to the Lord that churches might be more aware of the responsibility to teach children. As God answered prayer, churches began to finance their own local JOY Club, providing teaching materials for their workers and awards for their children. The JOY Club program proved to be a great help to Sunday schools and the progress of the church. Miss Milhelm shared ideas and conducted children's rallies that stirred much enthusiasm in the churches. In 1956, the mission agency of FBHM officially approved the JOY Club program and made it a part of its work. God had answered prayers and now JOY Club could meet the needs of new and established churches on a national level.

We all have seen it happen as people grow older. Regardless of the circumstances and situations, there are two ways to grow older in life. We've met people who grow sweeter and more gracious as they age. Folks love to be around them. Then on the other hand, there are those who just seem to grow mor

News from Fran Cupples in Fullerton, NE.

“We are thankful that we can have JOY Club each week. The kids are still wearing masks at school, and so, we are doing the same at club. We've had a high attendance of 42 (quite a challenge) and a low of 25. I am both encouraged and sad at the same time. I am encouraged because we have some new kids coming and I am sad because some of the regulars from last school year have not come back. We have been learning about loving the Lord first and our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39), the need to be saved and being a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). Last week we went to 1 Corinthians 13 (the love chapter) and decided we didn't want to be a clanging cymbal. Loving God wholly, living daily for Him and obeying Him and loving others is surely practical, relevant and needed. And, we are not to live as the ungodly do, but be transformed by renewing our minds with the Word of God. These are challenging lessons for the kids and for the teacher.”
