Mission Report from Rodrigo Rodriguez In February 2017, our church helped finance Rodrigo’s trip to Havana Cuba, where he held a concert and gave his testimony before hundreds at the First Baptist Church in downtown Havana.
Got Gold?
Mother's Day
Dear Kids, There has been a GOLD STRIKE in Promise Valley near Gold Bottom Creek where no one has looked before. I need your help in finding the gold this summer at Kids Kamp 2017. There will be two exciting camps for kids young and old. You can’t miss it! Climb in the Discovery Mines to learn about Jesus and His Word. I can’t wait to see you play the games and competitions like Mountain Slide Winder, Gold Rush Fever, Trail Twister, and more. You’ll love Apple Jack’s Miners Diner 'cause it’s my favorite. Come and follow my real adventures with the Tumbleweed Gang. You are gonna have so much fun! Please let us know that you are a comin.' The Gold Miner’s Almanac is saying that June 19th-June 22 from 6:30-8:30 PM is the best time to find gold. Tell your friends that are comin’ to go to fbt.org and register today.
Grand Opening Sunday FBT Kindergarten Ministry The Children's Ministry is expanding and adding a new emphasis to our 4K & 5K division. Meet Sprout, our new FBT Kindergarten mascot. Sprout wants everyone to know that kindergarten is a place where kids sprout and grow. Beginning Sunday, May 7, the 5K children will move to join the 4K in their own section of the Preschool Building. This section of the building has been specifically designed for this age group with new renovations. Kindergartners will love coming to Sunday School and learning about the Bible.
New K Church
After Sunday School, the 4K & 5K will attend K CHURCH where they will be greeted by a new friend, Tico the Toucan. K CHURCH is the new worship service for kindergarten. Here kids will learn truths from God's Word each week. The new Kindergarten Ministry will be under the direction of Amy Giles and Sara Deaver, the Kindergarten Director. Spread the word, we want FBT Kindergarten to be the place every kid wants to come to on Sunday.
May God Bless, Prospector Pete
