Vacation Bible School is coming!!

I'm so excited about Vacation Bible School! This year our adventure takes us to Outrigger Island, a fictional tropical island where we learn to know, speak, and live God's unshakeable truth. Mark your calendars now for June 8-13, and plan to be at Friendship for lots of great music, fun, and studying God's word. Check back here often for more info about VBS and our Luau kick-off event! I can't wait to see you there!

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday, March 22 is our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Children ages 2 through grade 6 are invited to the church to hunt eggs. There will be two prize eggs, containing at least $5 each! We will get started at 10:30 in the morning, with children age 2 through kindergarten hunting first. After the hunt, we'll play some games and have a snack. Bring a basket and a friend, and join us for a good time!

Children's Ministry Day 2008

February 16 was Children's Ministry Day, a day when children at Baptist churches across the country participated in mission projects. This year's theme was hunger, and it was our first year to participate. Our project was to prepare and deliver meals to shut-ins from our community. We had seven children and three adults participate. The children prepared baked chicken, baked potatoes, rolls, and pudding, which we delivered to three ladies. I'm sure the ladies enjoyed the food, but I think what they loved most was the visit from our children. Good job to all who took part! What a wonderful way to show God's love! Thanks, Katee and Carol, for your dedication to our kids!
