Club Connection is the online newsletter with helpful content for the Club Directors at our 14 nationwide All-Stars Clubs.

Dear Club Leaders,

We hope your Spring is off to a great start and you are finding much success with your All-Stars ministry! We have several new resources which we will share below, but first we wanted to take a moment to thank Mitch McCarty for his service to the All-Stars Club and to each of you over the past several years. We are excited for what's ahead for Mitch and his family and look forward to working with him as he continues to run the West Bowles Church All-Stars Club here in Colorado.

As we journey this transition, we are placing an emphasis on developing training materials and helpful tools, along with a focus on collaboration resources to support our club leaders. Now that several of our clubs have been up and running for 2+ years, we know there is a wealth of knowledge and ideas that you possess which can be shared with one another. Please read below to learn more about our new Club Connect web page and the immediate benefits it will offer.

We are also evaluating new registration softwares as we know GivePulse has created some headaches for many of us along the way. If you would like to be a part in this process by helping to evaluate new solutions, please reach out to me. Thank you again for the work each of you does to bless the lives of so many of our All-Stars and families. It's a joy to know so many talented and compassionate leaders that are serving our All-Stars and families in such impactful ways!

Sincerely,

Scott Russomanno

Executive Director

All-Stars Club

Does your church financially support partner ministries? If so, we'd love to see if All-Stars might be a ministry that is in line with your church's giving strategy. Please contact scott@allstarsclub.org with your thoughts and/or the contact person's info who might be responsible for making these decisions.

Paul is a regular monthly attendee at All-Stars Life Church Green Bay. He brings a smile to every person he meets. Our particular favorite moments with Paul are his exceptional choice in karaoke music with the classics such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. 

“Paul had a wonderful time at All-Stars last night! He loved the birthday party and can’t wait for next month. Thank you so much for doing this. It’s the highlight of his month! It’s also helping expand his world. When we walk into church on Sunday, people know him and say hello which is amazing. It makes him feel super special!”

The All-Stars Club is a bit like our own cozy community hub. We're really passionate about keeping these heartwarming stories alive in our day-to-day lives. Whether it's a volunteer, an All-Star, or a caretaker stepping through our doors, our goal is to turn it into a space filled with genuine joy and excitement. We want everyone to feel like they're part of something special, spreading encouragement and love wherever they go. It's not about checking off boxes on a service list; it's about eagerly anticipating time with our extended family, not being afraid to share our true selves, and embracing every moment together.

We would love to feature stories highlighting your All-Stars, volunteers and churches. If you have someone in mind please reach out to krystal@allstarsclub.org to begin the process. We desire to share these stories on our social media channels and our newsletters.

Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Luke 14:12-14
