Adventurer Club Leaders Wrangell Seventh-day Adventist Church knew something had to change. The church has a heart for children’s ministries but unfortunately hasn't had an active children’s ministry in many years. In the past few years, members of the church have helped with Camp Lorraine and have gone to Bethel, AK to put on a Vacation Bible School. While these activities are important, they only happen once a year. Church members knew something had to change.
The church board decided to rectify this problem by daring to start an Adventurers club. Some people might ask, "Why not start a Pathfinders club?" After prayerful consideration the board realized that there were many activities already in the community for Pathfinders age kids (5th grade and up) and by comparison not as much for the younger kids.
Taking a step of faith, the team began to research how to set up and run a Adventurer Club. Brooke Reynolds, Adventurer Club Director, shared, "I had never been in either Adventurers or Pathfinders, so it was entirely new to me as to how to do this. However, I can see how God has been leading us to this moment."
On September 14, the Wrangell Adventurer Club launched. At the first meeting, one brave child showed up and was willing to stay for the whole program. She let the team know that she had a good time. At the second meeting, the club had quadrupled to four members. The church is thrilled to start with this humble beginning. As of this post, there is word that more children are interested in coming. Please pray with us as we go through our first Adventurer Club year together.
