TEAM KID:
Everyone that volunteered for Children’s Ministries should have received a letter and schedule for the year. If you did not receive the information or did not sign up to volunteer and would like to, please contact me and I’ll add you to our schedule. A few important dates on our calendar:
Four opportunities for training for Team KID (Wednesday night program), Sunday School and Children’s Church (last 20 minutes of each training session).

Children's Ministry News:
New nursery & children’s worship schedules will begin the first Sunday in September. Also, we will begin a new Wednesday night children’s ministry called Team KID (Kids in Discipleship) for ages Pre-K thru 6th grade. I’m excited about this program and what it will offer our kids to build their Bible knowledge and their faith in Christ. More importantly, I am excited about how this knowledge and faith will encourage them to share Jesus with their friends and family each and every day.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS:
A few things to know about volunteering:
1. All your materials will be prepared for you each Sunday morning (Children’s Worship) and Wednesday night.
2. I will train all volunteers on the expectations.
3. If I have enough volunteers, I would like to do monthly rotations. For example, you would have Children’s worship for one month out of the year. Due to needing more volunteers on Wednesday nights, you would serve/teach two to three months out of the year. (To have this type of schedule, we must have an abundance of volunteers which I do not currently have.)
4. Your hearts will be filled! I know you are all busy, busy, busy with life. I promise you will not regret reprioritizing your schedule and serving these kids.
I currently only have 11 people signed up to volunteer in Pre-K through 6th grade. This is simply not enough to serve the 60+ kids we have on Wednesday nights. Here are the age groups where you can volunteer: Pre-K, K-1st grade, 2nd-3rd grades, 4th-6th grades. We also need more nursery volunteers. If you would like to serve only Sunday morning Children’s Worship and not Wednesday night or only on Wednesday night and Sunday morning, that is also an option. Please consider contacting me to volunteer if you have not already signed the volunteer sheet. The only qualifications are willing and dependable, so please prayerfully consider serving our kids. I am trying to complete all schedules by midweek this week, so please email me at jodiemboyd@gmail.com or call/text me at 662-231-3764 if you have any questions or to add your name to the list.
Matthew 26:18-20: And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Let's make it a priority to teach our kids to carry out the Great Commission, and in doing that we are also following His command.
Looking forward to hearing from you and growing our volunteer list.
Jodie Boyd,
Children's Director

Summer has gotten off to a great start. It is hot outside and the kids are fired up inside. So, as it gets hotter remember we have a cool place for kids to worship on Wednesday nights.
Our Heroes of the Bible study has been well accepted. The kids love the new game show, “The American Kids Bible Challenge”. We are averaging between 13 and 15 kids, and would love to invite more to come.
Galileans is going very well; we have 5 boys who are studying leadership. Galilean Sunday was a great day and I am proud of the boys.
Thanks to Mrs. Teresa Farris for working with our kids on music and Mrs. Crystal Heatherly for working with them on drama. We are looking forward to the Freedom Celebration when the kids will put on a skit and sing for the people of the church.
May God continue to bless the Children’s Ministry at First Baptist Church.

“Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the World.” This song was felt so much at this year’s Awana Awards.
Thank you to FBC for supporting Awana in 2012-13. We are asking for your support again in 2013-14. Thanks to all the workers and kids in Awana for a great year. Awana bids farewell to Ben Johnson, Michael Warren, Abby Prochaska, Lindsay Jenkins, Savannah Odom, and Regan Watson as they move up to The Main Event.
The Children’s Dept. took a group of kids to the Tupelo Buffalo Park. We had 29 kids and parents to go and had a great day of fellowship and food.
Galileans has gotten off to a great start. Galilean day has been moved to June 9, so Dr. Adams can take part in this day. We meet at 5 pm on Sundays in FLC. All boys, 3rd-12th grade are invited to come.
It is summer time, so it’s time for our God’s Kids Summer Series. Our theme is Heroes of the Bible. This is for 3year old - 6th grade. We are looking forward to this summer because we will be studying a different hero each week. The kids will be participating in a game show called, “The American Kids Bible Challenge”. We also will have children’s music with Mrs. Teresa. This will begin on June 5, hope to see you there.
