Assign different club members to read different bits of news or announcements. Create a “set,” if you want, with a news desk, TV monitors, and so on.

    Newscast for your club program.
    Present club news to a gathering of all the club age-groups. Ask each age-group to submit news to you ahead of time. Tell about things like:
  • kids’ accomplishments
  • what the various age-groups are learning in club
  • upcoming special events

    • Make your presentation like a live news program. See suggestions under “Newscast for the congregation.”
