Bible-based club begins at elementary school

Intern writer

A new club has started at Peabody-Burns Elementary.

The Good News Club is an after-school program dedicated to spreading the gospel to children. The class is taught by Ellen Rohl and her assistant, Michael Thiessen, a recent high school graduate.

The club is a part of the Child Evangelism Fellowship, an international organization dedicated to teaching children about the Bible. There are hundreds of clubs internationally, as well as many local chapters. The fellowship provides all the materials for the clubs.

“My primary motivation is to share with them what is in the Bible,” Rohl said. “A lot of children don’t have church homes where they are taught Bible stories and lessons.”

Since the Peabody branch’s beginning nearly a month ago, it has grown from four to 14 students ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade. They meet Tuesdays after school in the music room.

Along with learning Bible stories, they sing songs such as “Jesus Loves Me 1, 2, 3” and games to help them grasp the concepts of the stories. To help engage the kindergartners, they are given pictures of the story to color. There are also memory verses each week. If a child can say the memory verse, they receive a special prize.

Club leaders are required to take classes on how to teach the children, how the program works, and child evangelism.

Before coming to start a club in Peabody, Rohl led another club in El Dorado for five years. She continued that group for two years after moving to rural Peabody. Rohl decided to start a club in Peabody to be close to home.

“This is the first year we’ve had one in Peabody,” Rohl said. “We are grateful for the permission we’ve had to have the club in Peabody.”

Orphan trains subject of Lifelong Learning

Marilyn Irvin Holt, author of “The Orphan Trains: Placing Out in America,” will give a presentation in a Lifelong Learning session at 9:45 a.m. Friday in the Heritage Lobby within Shari Flaming Center for the Arts on the Tabor College campus.

She will describe how the system worked and who the eastern institutions were that placed youngsters and children who came to Kansas.

Between 1853 and 1929, at least 200,000 children and teen-agers were sent out of crowded eastern cities to homes on farms and in small towns farther west on what are now called “orphan trains.”

Admission is $5. Participants may eat lunch in the college cafeteria after the session at a discount price of $4.

Local girl gets photography honors

Staff writer

A photo taken by Ellie Just, 15, of rural Marion hangs on a wall in the Dean of Agriculture’s office at Kansas State University. It’s a picture of an owl and won a purple ribbon at the state fair.

“We were coming out of a pasture in my grandpa’s Ranger when we saw the owl sitting on a post,” she said. “It sat there for five minutes. I guess I was in the right place at the right time.”

A year earlier, another of Ellie’s photos, a purple-ribbon picture of a bumblebee, was displayed in the governor’s office.

This year, yet another purple-ribbon photo is in the Kansas 4-H calendar. It features heads and grains of wheat in her grandpa’s hand.

Ellie lives with her grandparents, Rod and Shirley Suderman, who farm west and south of Aulne. Ellie’s grandmother schools her at home.

Ellie acquired a Canon EOS camera at age 7, when she joined 4-H, and still uses it.

She was inspired to do photography because she had an aunt who had been in 4-H and regretted not doing a photography project.

She has attended numerous workshops to increase her skills.

She said her favorite subjects are old things, animals, and butterflies.

Her grandparents make sure she has plenty of opportunities to practice. She goes on walks with her grandmother and often takes rides around the farm with her grandfather in his pickup.

Her grandmother shares her love of photography.

“One reason for Ellie’s success is that she takes hundreds of pictures,” she said. “She has already taken 25 or 30 for the next 4-H year. All of her pictures are taken within a four- or five-mile radius of the farm.”

She keeps her photos on a computer and is hoping to submit some of them for publication. She is considering creating note cards that would feature her photos.

“I like 4-H,” she said. “You can try new things, set goals, and have a purpose.”

Ellie is a member of South Cottonwood 4-H Club.
