Children's Ministry
Make a Difference in Your World! Reach the Next Generation for Jesus! As the new church year begins September 4, we are looking for some Christian adults who desire to invest time with preschoolers and children. There are some great opportunities on Sunday mornings in the Life Journey Classes, as well as Wednesday evenings in Mission Friends, RAs and GAs. Let Arvil Pennington know of your interest at apennington@lawndalebaptist.org, or you may contact one of our wonderful program directors: Mission Friends/Amy Arthur, Girls in Action/Kyra Houser & Joanna Scott, Royal Ambassadors/Neal Matthews.
Thanks from our Little Ones in ETC - Extended Teaching Care: During the 10:45 service requires 60 adults per Sunday to staff 12 classes of Babies - Kindergarten and 240 leaders per month. So many of you and especially Dad have signed up to serve. ETC is a Bible teaching time and not just a "keeping, watching" time. For many of the preschoolers who do not attend Life Journey, this is their only Bible teaching time.
Promotion Sunday: is September 4th. Preschoolers will receive notification of their new class; Elementary children will promote to the next grade.
