Happy Almost October!

I'm sending out our October issue of our newsletter a little early, because there are big things happening that I couldn't wait to share!

Reverend Bridget Kokolis has arrived (YAY!) and is settling into life at First Baptist! I'm so enjoying getting to know her and I know you will too!

She'll be at Missions tonight, and we'll be doing the children's sermon together this Sunday. I know she'd love to meet each of you!

On a personal note, this will be my last newsletter. I hope you know how much you and your children have blessed my life. I have loved experiencing God with your kids on the Children's Hall, all around Greenville, at camp, and wherever and whenever we've crossed paths. I'm grateful for your friendship and all that you have done to support our Children's Ministry-- serving as chaperones, leading and teaching, serving on our committee, and especially bringing your precious children. They are a joy! Thank you!

I will be here a few more weeks, mostly behind the scenes, doing some organizing and finishing things up. Know that I love you all!

I look forward to watching your dear children grow up from my place in the pew. Thank you for all you have meant to me!

Much Love, Becky

What a great start to our new school year!

Many thanks to our fantastic chaperones: Amy Boone, Erin Maguire, Tony McDade, Carrie Nettles, Leslie Rodwell, and Sarah Ramsey-Smith!

Thanks also to the Plating family for helping with our meal.

We had the best time eating together, hanging out, playing games, and enjoying each other! Oh, and watching the movie!

See more of our pics at our Children's Ministry Facebook page.

Have you renewed your Protecting Our Children certification yet?

In order to offer children's events at church--even serving doughnuts before Sunday school- we need all of our parents to fill out the paperwork and watch the videos required for certification.

It is so important!

If you haven't done this yet, please fill out the paperwork found HERE and send it to Draper Smith to get the process going.

We can't do Children's Ministry without your help. Our first event is September 16 and it takes several weeks for our paperwork to process.

Thank you for you for making our children's safety a priority!
