Dear Patch,

Being in Patch Club as a child, I don’t think I realized and understood the impact that it had on me. Everything from the verses that we would memorize, to the devotions, to the songs that we would learn have helped shape the person I have become. Some of the verses have been my “go to” verses in the time of need. I find myself humming or singing songs that I learned in Patch Club to this day. Also, having the opportunity to play the piano for Patch Club is something not many freshmen in high school get to do. I was able to play for a children’s choir in church! That opportunity helped sharpen my skills and allowed me to impact the next group of kids coming up behind me. I will be forever grateful for the years that I was involved with Patch Club! “Ahoy sailors!” “Ahoy Captain!”
