The Bible Club – Advisor, Mr. Coggin 

Pastor Mark Hurley continued the discussion on the topic of the omniscience of God.  As they studied the scriptures, they were reminded of God's perfect and all-knowing nature. Students learned of the awesomeness of how God knew every detail of the future, including the birth of His son, Jesus Christ. Students made connections to the prophecies in the Old Testament that foretold the coming of the Messiah, learning how God's omniscience extends beyond time and space, allowing Him to have a perfect understanding of every single human being; past, present, and future. This should bring comfort and reassurance to everyone, knowing that God is fully aware of their needs and that He has a perfect plan for their lives. The club members discussed how God chose the exact time and place for Jesus to be born, fulfilling the prophecies and bringing salvation to all humanity, while reflecting on how God used ordinary people, such as Mary and Joseph, to fulfill His divine plan. This is to remind us that no matter how insignificant anyone may feel, God has a purpose for everyone. They conclude all their discussions by praising God for His omniscience and blessings in prayer.

Meetings: Every Wednesday with Mr. Coggin; snacks provided.

The higher-up members then read important qualities of being in Beta Club. Each member then lit candles that represent each pillar of Beta. The new members said the Beta pledge was to be initiated. Then Mr. Franks gave a speech thanking us and our parents. We took a group photo. Then we went home.
