Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will”. Our club verse is Micah 6:8b "And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Special activities include a fall pumpkin walk, the Pinewood Derby, and more!
