This feels a little like "How many people does it take to change a light bulb?"
I have several other things to do today, but it struck me again today, just how many people it takes to help a club run well. Forgive me, but I was reminded when I saw a large trash can on wheels . . . .
Today at Pearland Junior High East, we had 60 students. And 7 adults were there at the connection club. Adults from all walks of life and all different churches. (And just in case you don't know, 1 to 10 is considered a safe student to adult ratio.)
Sue Himmel is the club sponsor and her co teacher sponsor. That's 2.
Patti Kachel picks up end of the day goods from Starbucks and came in, with her granddaughter and about 70 goodies from Starbucks.
Linda and Billy Shaw picked up about 35 sausage biscuits donated by Chick fi la, brought a tray and a knife and cut the sausage biscuits in half. Their grandchildren come to club.
George, the school maintenance man made sure we had an extra trash can. He attends a church in Pasadena.
Ms. Llope, the art teacher lets the club use her room.
I (Dottie) brought additional Starbucks and the sign in sheet and thank you cards. I picked up trash.
Jason Hess spoke - at the student leaders request and invitation.
The Joy Class from Fellowship Bible Church provided the juice boxes for today.
And Nora Dellinger, coordinated the pick up of Chick fi la.
That's Nine. Nine adults from at least 6 different churches. And that doesn't include the Sunday School class! We all did our part: Only Jason spoke, the rest of us, were behind the scenes, almost invisible support people. We were there, helping, in the background, making sure we honored the students efforts with our whole hearted support. Some of us were invisible - they weren't even there - George, Nora, the Joy Class, Ms. Llope.
So how many adults does it take to support an on Campus Christian Club? More than I ever knew!
And Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
