A Passion and Love for Children
Sidney and Kim Galloway are part of the Beach Club volunteer team from First Baptist Orlando that serves at Catalina Elementary School. Their initial thought was that Sidney would help out some and be at Club as much as possible, but he would primarily take care of their business as needed on club days since Kim was the Club Leader.

Beach Clubs Are Back!
It is that time of year again, temperatures are dropping, kids are back in school, Friday night means high school football and yes, Beach Clubs are back! We have had a tremendous summer with a buzz of Beach Club activities around parks, swimming pools and baseball fields. We are starting up with 110 Beach Clubs in 49 school districts this fall in 7 different states. Praise God!
One thing I do in the Beach Club process is getting everything set up for us to be able to enter each school campus. Each school district is different and has its own steps for setting up a lease agreement so that outside organizations, such as KiDs Beach Club®, can come onto the campus to do after school clubs.

Connecting with Families
One of our super volunteers, Tara Seidman, shares two opportunities she had to connect with family members of Beach Clubbers and minister to them personally.
I met with a momma of a brand new Beach Clubber. Her daughter had come for the first time and started crying at the end of my lesson, during the prayer. Her grandmother had passed away and I think the quiet moment triggered those emotions. This family doesn't go to church and her tears were an open door for me to connect with this mom.

A Teacher, Students and the Truth
Angie, one of the Beach Club leaders in Caddo Mills, Texas is also a teacher at the school. One morning Angie was visiting with a younger student and he shared some very disheartening information about his home life with her. Angie’s heart was breaking for this little boy and his family. She knows the only true hope for him is Jesus. This little boy does not attend Beach Club and she was thinking of ways she could infuse God’s truth into his life and then it hit her …
