Kids Club

It’s a bunch of fun, that’s what it is! Kids dive into Bible stories and activities from Gospel Project. They also play games, enjoy yummy snacks, and make lots of new friends. We ended our Winter/Spring Session on April 9th. Sign-up for the Fall Session will be coming this summer.
 
Thank you for sharing your families with us. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Special Note

It’s hard to say goodbye…As you know, Mrs. Mollie and her family have been called to a new church. May 11th will be her last Sunday serving in the FBC Kids Ministry. We are so very thankful for all the many ways she has poured into each child and family who attend our programs. She will be greatly missed. Please join us on May 11th at 9am in the Sanctuary for the “Great Goodbye” Reception where we will be celebrating all the things the Lord has done in and through the Dunn family. More information about the event can be found in our May newsletter.
 
 
We know change can be scary and confusing, so I want to walk you through what to expect in the coming weeks. My name is Denise Bowker and I will be the Interim Kids Ministry Director. I have been serving in the FBC Kids Ministry for over 10 years, so I am familiar with the programs we have all grown to love and anticipate. My goal is to keep offering great programs like VBS and Kids Club plus other engaging events that point kiddos and their families to Jesus. Although I have big shoes to fill, I look forward to leading the Kids Ministry and continuing to serve our FBC family and community.
 
The last two Sundays in May, Life Action will be here and leading the Kids’ Sunday School and Kids Worship time. Those two weeks you’ll check-in & pick-up kiddos downstairs, like normal, but with a member of the Life Action Team. Beginning June 1st, I will be teaching the 2nd – 5th grade Sunday School class with Stew Klink. All other Kids’ Sunday School teachers are staying the same. Nancy McMeekan will lead the 2nd – 5th grade Kids Worship; I will continue to lead the Pre-K – 1st grade Kids Worship.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
