Will you join us in thanking God for His ministry opportunities and CEF WV state and chapter leadership? You will find that this month we are featuring our "Christmas Season" ministry opportunity called Christmas Party Club. Pray God will raise up volunteers, teachers and locations for Christmas Party Club ministries this season.
You will also find a list of our CEF WV State Board and Staff. We are rejoicing in what God is doing throughout our State board, staff, and volunteers as they seek God's wisdom and leadership to guide His work here in West Virginia!
This month we are focusing on our CEF Cultural Point, "Importance of Clear and Biblical Presentation of the Gospel". Will you pray 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 over each of our state and chapter leadership and volunteers? Pray that God will continue to hold our current state and chapter leadership strong in Him as together we seek to shine the glorious gospel of Christ to this dark world. As this time of year has less sunlight, may this be a reminder that His light shines brightest as the days of spiritual darkness is more evident. As we seek to His message during our Thanksgiving/Christmas season, pray we shine for His glory and not our own.

Christmas Party Club?
Through a Christmas Party Club, your church can work alongside Child Evangelism Fellowship® to reach the children in your community with the true story of Christmas. While each Party Club is Gospel-centered, there are also teachings for saved children. CEF® will connect you with the training, materials, and activities you need to confidently host a Christmas Party Club®.
Where is a Christmas Party Club held?
The Christmas Party Club (CPC®) has been traditionally held in prescreened neighborhood homes and communities that care about the spiritual needs of today's children. In recent years, the Christmas Party Club ministries have been welcomed in community centers, community housing, daycares, and other prescreened and safe places where children live.
For more information about a Christmas Party Clubs, or hosting a CPC, please contact your local office or the state office at 304.840.7015. Also, you can click the link above.
