Acts 29 Fellowship of the Christian and Missionary Alliance

Holbrook Elementary School opened in 1896 and is one of the oldest schools in continuous use in Michigan.   Acts 29 Fellowship has the wonderful privilege of walking in the doors of Holbrook School every Thursday to take on Ms. Housey’s sixth grade social studies class.  Thirty-two students and five coaches enter the imaginary State of Punxatawney  (the school cafeteria space)  and Governor John (our own Pastor John) delivers the laws and directions for the Mayors of five cities.   The laws come from Scripture such as, “A gentle answer turns away wrath” and “Flee evil, cling to good!”   Each ‘city’ is responsible for good citizenship and to study hard for the quiz competition  using jump seats and interrogative questions, (similar to Bible quizzing format) at the end of the day.

When a city team wins three times, they earn a celebration party at the Acts 29 facility.  Our prayer is that we can build relationships with these students and their families, to transform the school culture in academics and character building.   Three of Ms. Housey’s students are part of our Bible quizzing teams and have been actively sharing the good news of Christ with fellow students.   The class represents the south side of Hamtramck:  Yemeni, Bengali, African American, and Polish.

“Flee from the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”

-2 Timothy 2:22

LOL is currently in the re-planning stages.

LOL was created to give elementary students (ages 9-11) a fresh perspective on life. It is a fun-filled, high-energy program designed to teach kids how to love Jesus with their hearts and their actions. LOL’s foundational verse is 2 Timothy 2:22 which asks us to flee the evil desires of youth and pursue the things God wants us to pursue. That is exactly what Acts 29 LOL leaders have been asking of our elementary students for the past several years.

LOL is a safe place for kids to come to have fun and learn about Christ’s love. The LOL staff are dedicated to making sure every student receives the care and attention that they need.

LOL also teaches young children basic life skills and gives them mentoring hands to help them improve the way that they care for themselves. LOL is a great place for young children to build a foundation to grow up on.

Other Acts 29 ministries available to Elementary school students include:

• HAP (Homework Assistance Program)
• Summer Camp
• Bible Quizzing (for 11 years old and up)
