Summer Recap

Hello everyone...I know I know I know...you all thought that I fell off the face of the planet. But rest assured...I am back and will be updating the blog at least twice a month, if not more! :) I know I know...it's hard to contain your excitement...but it is our goal that this blog becomes the place where parents can get the up-to-the-minute instructions on what is going on in the life of the Children's Ministry at FBC Loganville. But for now, let me give you just a few updates as to what's been going on the past several months.

VBS was a huge hit this year with Cosmic City. We had over 500 kids each day for 3 days of fun, excitement, and worship. It was an incredible experience that we have continued to have each Wednesday night during the summer. We have averaged over 100 kids each night...with only 2 more nights remaining! If you want, you can check out some of our pictures on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Loganville-GA/First-Baptist-Church-Loganville/93889498460?ref=nf

Kidz Camp was a great time with 58 kids who just completed 3rd - 5th grade. We went away to Camp Woodland in Temple, GA and had a blast! It wasn't all about fun and games either (though there was A LOT of that going on). The kids were challenged with the idea of how BIG God is! The idea that "God doesn't make JUNK" was one that stuck throughout the week.

As we are wrapping up our Summer and preparing for Fall Kick-Off...I just wanted to let you know a couple of important dates.

July 29th Our VBS wrap up service is at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary where we will SLIME 2 people.

August 2nd Promotion Sunday will take place throughout the morning. We will have a special breakfast for the upcoming 1st graders at 9:00 AM in the gym. For kids going into 2nd - 5th grades, it will be the same schedule as normal, but with a new Sunday school class. You should be receiving a post card with information on it as to who your child's new teacher is and what room they are located in.

August 5th Fall Kick-Off is a fun time for us to register kids for choir as well as Rootz, our Wednesday night activity. Registration will begin at 6:00 and continue until 7:00 with blow-up rides and slides in the gym. We will have workers staffed at the rides beginning at 6:45. Please remain with your child(ren)until that time. It will be a fun and exciting time as we kick off our Fall programming.

As always, if you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me at: kwages@fbcloganville.org or just click on the "contact" tab at the top of the page.
