In 1952, First Baptist Weekday Preschool opened its doors for the first time on Wednesday, September 3 with Miss Dorothy Cox as the first Director. We’ve been collecting stories all summer to share about our 70 years of serving families all over Greensboro. Over this new school year, we will be sharing these stories. If you have a story you’d still like to share, we’d love to hear them! Watch our social media and website as we share about our wonderful legacy. If you are interested in enrollment, or have other questions about the Preschool, please contact Autumn Culbreth, Director (autumn@fbcgso.org) or call 336-274-3286 ext. 106.
PRESCHOOL FIRST BAPTIST WEEKDAY PRESCHOOL served over 60 children this summer during our “Summer Days” programming. Each week, our children explored a different theme, covering everything from “Down on the Farm” to “Mission Possible”. We reunited with Hilly the Cow from Southeast Dairy Association, enjoyed a visit with Porter the Therapy Dog from the Greensboro Police Department, learned from the firefighters from Greensboro Fire Department-Station 5, and made lovely music with Mrs. Melissa from Gate City Musikgarten. When we weren’t learning from leaders in our community, we were playing outside, building Magnatile towers, and making notes for FBC Homebased members. During our “Mission Possible” week, we raised $130 for Backpack Beginnings with a Lemonade Stand. We had an amazing summer learning together, and we cannot wait to start our school year right after Labor Day. We have some availability for the 2022-2023 school year, mostly in our Twos and Threes classes.

COMMUNION each first Sunday of the month, September 4, October 2, November 6, December 4
The Sanctuary Choir is the anchor of music ministry at First Baptist Church and is open to all adults. College students are especially welcome! This group sings a wide variety of choral music as they lead regularly in Sunday worship services. Special seasons of the church year afford opportunities to present larger choral works such as “Star in the East.” This collection of Appalachian Christmas carols accompanied by folk instruments including the hammered dulcimer will be presented, on Sunday morning, December 18. Introduction to this music will be Saturday, September 17, 10 am - 2 pm for lunch and rehearsal at Hanging Rock State Park! If you enjoy singing the praises of God and would benefit from a warm, intergenerational music experience, come and join us on Wednesday evenings this fall! The first night of rehearsal is Wednesday, August 31 at 7 pm.
The choir is a living model of what it means to be church. It is people gathered to offer what they have – the great and the small. It is the recognition this offering yields that following Christ means considering more what we offer than what we receive. In choir, like in the church, no one exists solely on their own. Each person is held as they hold the people around them, their combined vocal timbres strengthening each other in a tower of overtones made more complete with each voice. This Fall, as we reflect on the words of Romans 12:5, we invite you to add your voice to the whole. “So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.”
CHILDREN’S FORMATION SEPTEMBER 18-OCTOBER 23
