Child Evangelism Fellowship® of Utah

Christmas is a special day for most children around the world. The Christmas season is a joyful time with decorations, carols, and parties. Children especially enjoy receiving gifts. Yet, many boys and girls do not know the true meaning of Christmas. We should not miss this wonderful opportunity to share about the perfect gift God gave on the first Christmas. It is as if God created a stage where the true message of Christmas may be preached to the world.

Christmastime is the best opportunity to share the Gospel with children. The whole world, including children and adults, opens their hearts to hear about Christmas. We have Christmas Party Clubs for children to celebrate the birth of Jesus and share the true meaning of Christmas.

I hope you will participate in praying for Christmas Party Clubs around the world. Our goal is to conduct 16,000 Christmas Party Club seminars, to train 348,000 volunteers, to conduct 367,000 Party Clubs, to reach 12.6 million children with the true meaning of Christmas.

One way you can participate is by signing up for a time to pray. Time slots began November 1, and you may sign up at https://bit.ly/CPCPrayer.

Here is an opportunity to reach the children of your neighborhood no matter how heavy your schedule! This program will draw in even the most hard-to-reach child. To help kids hear the way of salvation, a Party Club combines some elements of a Good News Club® in a party setting. It can be held once a month, several times a year or only once a year.

Kids love the parties

Child Evangelism Fellowship has prepared Party Club teaching kits on a number of themes, from Christmas and Easter to generic topics such as travel or a pumpkin run.

Each kit contains a complete party guide with a full-color visualized Gospel story, suggested games, songs, invitations, etc. Everything you need!

Why plan to have a neighborhood party for children? You may find yourself in one of the following situations:

You are concerned about the terrible things happening to children and want to have a positive impact.
You've always wanted to begin a Good News Club® for your own children and their friends, but your time has not permitted a weekly commitment.
You've had a 5-Day Club® and you want to have a continued ministry to the children who attended.
Your church is involved in an extensive outreach program in church-family neighborhoods.
You'd like to hold a Party Club in several different neighborhoods to reach as many children as possible.
Whatever your circumstances, remember, it is God's desire that every child in your neighborhood, city and country knows the Savior.

Party Clubs are exciting, fun-filled special events held one time at a one day event (60-90 minutes). Some examples of Party Clubs would be a Fall Festival Party, Christmas Party, Easter Party, Valentine’s Party, Seasonal Party, and a Back to School Party. It includes dynamic Bible lessons, creative learning activities, inspiring missionary stories, meaningful songs, and life-changing Scripture memorization.

A Party Club can take place in a home in the neighborhood that is safe for a child to go to. Community parks, centers, schools and housing complexes are also great places for a club.

Party Clubs are sponsored by CEF, an international, Bible-centered organization, which has been in existence for over 80 years. CEF shares the Gospel with more than 20.4 million children each year.Many times local churches co-sponsor the club as an effective outreach.

Party Club is open to children of all ages regardless of religious background. Parents are welcome to attend the club with their children.

Christians who are concerned for the spiritual well-being of children teach the club. These teachers have received specialized training from CEF and are carefully screened as required by the child protection policy of CEF.

There is no charge for children to attend. It is FREE.

Children will learn: biblical principles, moral values, character qualities, and respect for authority.

CEF has taken specific steps to ensure the safety of every child. All club workers have been carefully screened as required by the child protection policy of CEF.
