Impact Clubs Training Day Three!

Day Three was amazing! It's been so cool seeing this team work together. Our team practice time, lessons, skits, Bible verses, songs, and everything else we've been working on has been coming together so well! Today was jam-packed: a Bible class from Brianna and Josh, teamwork-building obstacle courses in game class, an ultimate frisbee game, tons of completed evaluations for Bible lessons and verse teachings, an incredible dinner from our friends the Hoods, an awesome devotion time with Pastor Matt, and a dance-off! (Keep an eye out for the video at the end of the week for proof!)

Wednesdays can often be a stressful day of ICT, but today was blessed with so much peace and unity within our team. Thank you so much for all of your prayers! Please continue to hold us up as we finish this week strong!

Impact Clubs Training Day Two!

DAY TWO of Impact Clubs Training is over! The team worked so hard today, completing more evaluations, working on skits, choreographing songs, and building relationships with each other. What an awesome couple of days this has already been--we can't wait to see what God has in store for the rest of this week and this summer! Thank you for keeping our team in your prayers!

Impact Clubs Training Day One!

Impact Clubs Training Day One is in the books! These teens and young adults got evaluated on their Wordless Book presentations, learned how to act out a Bible lesson, and had an amazing lunch from Chick-Fil-A of Chicopee thanks to Hope for Kids board member Robert Hewes!

We are so thankful for each and every one of these "ICTers". They are pouring their energy into learning tons of new teaching material this week and will be giving so much of their summer to reach Springfield with the Gospel.

Kids Club at the Hope for Kids Den!

We had such a great time this past Thursday at the last week of our brand-new Kids Club program! Teens from Pioneer Valley Christian Academy provided dinner for everyone and helped lead the event, and we were able to give away huge bags of popcorn to all the kids thanks to a generous donation from the Springfield Rescue Mission! We are looking forward to running this Kids Club again beginning in the 2018-2019 school year. Check out pictures from this awesome night below!

Club Hope | May 2018

This weekend, Hope for Kids hosted our final Club Hope of the 2017-2018 season.

We are so grateful to the volunteers who poured so much energy into every event this year. Hope is happening in Springfield because of your work with these children! Lives are being changed as the love of Jesus is poured into young hearts and minds through your service and relationships with these kids.

This month, we asked the Hope for Kids family about their favorite part of this Club Hope year. Check it out in this month's video below!

Thanks to Tim Gavrilov for photographing this event for us! Check out photos from this weekend below.

Club Hope | March 2018

This month's event was awesome! The kids had a great lunch (who doesn't love pizza?!) and learned about Easter, Joseph of Arimathea, and how they can conquer the fear of embarrassment. Caleb did a great job stepping up to direct the green bus and lead games while Jeremiah was on his honeymoon! There are only two more Club Hope events left in the 2017-2018 season, and our volunteers did an amazing job making this month's event fun, meaningful and memorable. Check out the video and photo gallery below to see Club Hope in action!

Club Hope | February 2018

Club Hope this month was amazing! The kids had so much fun hanging out with our awesome volunteers. We learned about Paul and Silas and how with God, we can FEARLESSly tell the truth! Thank you so much to each and every volunteer who made this awesome event possible.

Club Hope | December 2017

Our Christmas event is always a highlight of the Club Hope year at Hope for Kids! On December 16th, we had 92 kids in attendance at Club Hope! The kids heard the story of the wise men, and following our FEARLESS theme for the year, they learned how to conquer the fear of being wrong. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, intentional small group time, super fun games, and great bible lessons.

We had TONS of volunteers come out and show their support this month--thanks to some great teamwork, this Club went incredibly smoothly! Thank you to every volunteer who made this day possible. We're in this together!
