Law’s Be The Light Bible Club was started four years ago by graduates Max Akuffo and Sarah Ahmed.

Akuffo and Ahmed approached Advisor Ms. Blude to start the club back up after its previous hiatus. The current Club Presidents are seniors Abby Jenkins and Hailey Stephen. 

The club meets every Wednesday after school in Room 49, Mr. Batson’s room. 

“Be The Light Club is a space where people who are or aren’t Christians can come and bring up any questions that they may have about Christianity for discussion in a judgment-free zone,” Stephen said.

Be The Light brings a kind, lively, and welcoming energy to its meetings. It intends to follow through with its name, to bring a strong light to Jonathan Law.

“The goal of the Be The Light Club is to bring students of faith (and even those questioning faith) together in a safe place, hoping to be a light of hope in our school,” Blude said. “It is so great bringing together students of different ages, ethnicities, and spiritual denominations together because they love Jesus.”

A goal of the club is for all to come and feel safe and to be a light of hope at the Law. 

“The atmosphere at the club is definitely very loving and very kind,” senior member Amaya Lewis said.

Be The Light is also participating in ALPHA, which is an event that begins on September 22 and lasts for eight weeks. It takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday nights in Room 49. It’s open to all who are interested and to those who are confident in their faith, and to those who are struggling with their faith.

“It’s honestly to help people who want to understand their faith and people who don’t know where to start,” Senior Secretary Meghan Velasquez said.

Another member of Be The Light shared what keeps them motivated to participate in the club.

“I really like learning and educating myself more about God and how I can move on with my life because I realized that I don’t have much guidance and I don’t have a light really,” senior member Harley Davidson said. “Going there and educating myself about God makes the light brighter and makes me focus on a more straight and focused path.” 

Members said Be the Light is accomplishing its goal of being a safe space and a light for those who wish to get closer to God. 

“I would describe the meetings in a word as supportive, but if I had to touch on other aspects, I would certainly mention the community there being supportive,” junior member Jeremiah Dos Santos said.

Anyone with questions about joining Be The Light can contact Mrs. Blude.
