It's here!
Summer arrives this week, and we kick it off 9:15 am Sunday with our VBS Blast!
If your child isn't registered, no worries. We'd love for her/him to participate in the morning part of our program. Just drop them off with everyone else at the chapel for our Sunday school time. Then meet us in the Narthex during the Doxology at the end of worship to collect your child. We'll be heading to the Fellowship Hall to start the rest of our day.
Many thanks to you parents for volunteering and making VBS happen!
For our families of our VBS Blasters, look for an email tomorrow with all the info you need.
Love to you and your precious kids,
Becky

Summer is almost here - a time when your family may be going all sorts of places.
Wherever you go (
far away or even a stay-cation!
) I'd love for your child to send me a postcard from your time off, so that I can share it with our church family on a bulletin board on the Children's Hall! It'll be a nice reminder that as we go into the world, God goes with us - and we keep praying for you no matter where in the world you are!
Your child can send us a postcard at

Thanks! I can't wait to see where summer takes you!

We Need Sunday School Teachers
|
|
We need Sunday school teachers for the 2018-2019 year for grades 2, 4, and 5.
We also need parents who can serve as helpers once a month in grades 1 and 5.
You don't have to have experience or know the stories inside out! We have wonderful materials that will make sharing the stories easy and fun and meaningful- for the kids and for you!
If you think you might be interested, just call me (Becky) or
email
or catch me at church. I'd love to talk with you!

Has Your Family Talked about Tutu Desks?

Over the next months, at VBS and at Camp Prism, our church will be raising money to supply a school in Sub-Saharan Africa with 1000 Tutu desks. Desks are $20 each, and stay with the student throughout his/her education. Learn more about this exciting project

Could Your Family Help Other Families in Need?
|
|
It's almost time for First Baptist to host families who are in need of temporary emergency housing through the Interfaith Hospitality Network.
The families will be staying at FBG from June 17 to July 1.
There are several fun opportunities that your whole family can do together. Volunteers are needed to provide meals, hang out with these families in the early evening, and spend the night too, as well as set up their rooms and take them down at the end.
