We gather at Chick-Fil-A for a dutch treat breakfast, discussion of a relevant topic and a time of prayer for one another. We will assist you in taking your child to school.
FBC.com (Missions Education) (6:30 - 7:15 pm)
Our boys and girls learn about mission work in our state, our nation and world. They learn to pray for others who are involved in missions and they learn that they too can be involved. Music, crafts and sometimes even snacks reflect what they are studying. We have found that this study opens their eyes to their world and the greatness of their God.
KID'S TALK
