Chess club at church

Last Saturday, we started a chess club at our church.  I had some nice flyers printed up that we handed out at the nearby high school that invited the kids to come.  The time was listed as between 3 and 4 pm.  Only three youth came during the advertised hour, but another five came after we were already putting away things.  I hoped that the late kids would come on time this week, but only a total of four came.  My hope is to see youth coming each week for chess club and make friends and become comfortable enough being in the church to come to the youth group and church services.  I share a short devotional each week, trying to make comparisons of chess with concepts of Christianity.
