Have a good July 4th and enjoy the fireworks. See you on Sunday!

Pass Out!!!!!

Pass Out!!!! No not you. Pass out tickets and get the word out. Vacation Bible School is only 2 weeks away. We need to get the word out so that family, friends and neighbors don't miss Outrigger Island. The dates are July 20-25 and time is flying by. So pick up a stack of tickets and PASS OUT!

2 MORE WEEKS!!!!!

Can you believe it? Only two more weeks to Vacation Bible School. I am so excited and can barely wait. We are making final preparations. We're growing palm trees and building beach huts. VBS is one of the biggest events during the entire year for First Baptist Church.

Many people are making preparations and clearing their schedule to be here. Don't miss out. Don't let your kids miss out. Because if they are not here they will miss out on a complete blast. The music, drama, games, crafts, snacks, mission stories and Bible teaching.

VBS is filled with a bunch of fun and games, but I want you as a parent to value the fact that your child will encounter each day a Bible truth that will help build them into a spiritual champion.

Don't let other things get in the way of your schedule during this week. Mark it off. Bring your kids and while you are at it-- why don't you come join the fun as well!!!! We still have a place for you. Contact the Children's Ministry office at 667-8221 or richc@fbcmonline.com

July 20-25 is Vacation Bible School

Don't miss Vacation Bible School this year! We start on Sunday and end with a big musical production with drama, singing, lights and video. It is really cool to see and hear a 250+ kids choir sing and move.

There are still volunteer spaces available. Email Rich at richc@fbcmonline.com for more information. VBS T-Shirts go on sale Sunday, July 6 and they will be $6. You can visit the registration table on the second floor beginning on July 6 to register your child(ren).

More info to come. The Island Awaits Us!

We're Back on the Blog

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay on the blog, but it seems to be back and working again. Kidz Camp was an absolute blast. We are now less than one year away for Kidz Camp 2009 so mark your calendar now. The dates are June 8-12, 2009. It doesn't hurt to start planning early.

Vacation Bible School is only four weeks away. The dates are Sunday, July 20 - Friday, July 25. We are gearing up for the best VBS we have ever had. Make sure you invite a few friends to come with you. We'll set a goal and if you reach it you will make me (Pastor Rich) and a few of my closest friends into a Human Sundae. Yuck!!!!!!

See you on Sunday morning!
