New Adventurer Club Begins at All Nations Center

By Anita Lebold, February 14, 2020

If you're in Wapato, Washington, looking for something to do with your family on Sabbath afternoons, you need to check out what All Nations Center Church is doing.

The All Nations Center Church recently started an Adventurer club to reach familes in their community. They began by inviting families with children in preschool through third grade to join them for planned activities and fellowship.

Each time the club meets, the children learn about how to be a good friend, how to share Jesus in their community, how to be courteous and, most importantly, how Jesus is our Shepherd. 

At the first two meetings, 15–20 children along with their families joined in the fun. For the second meeting, All Nations members invited community members to come and tell about their careers and how they can share Jesus' love through their work. Presenters included a doctor, a nurse, a teacher and a farmer. All who participated were fascinated by the stories and the activities they shared together.

This is one of the newest Adventurer clubs in the Upper Columbia Conference (UCC). The All Nations Center Church joins nearly 30 other UCC churches that have recognized the value of investing in families and children through the Adventurer program. Adventurer ministry focuses on strengthening the family through Bible study, relationship building and age-appropriate learning activities.
