ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN/PARENTS AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH

Food Share Sundays

On the first Sunday of each month, children are encouraged to join the congregation in bringing food and other needed items as donations to In As Much Ministries.  Collection areas are inside all church entrances.  Watch church publications for specific needs.

 

Church Library

A wide variety of resources (books, CDs, DVDs, and videos) for both children and adults are available for check-out in the library.  In addition to Bible-based and other wholesome material for children, there are books that address specific situations and issues that children and parents experience.

 

Second Friends Preschool

Second Friends is a preschool ministry for our community.  Children must be three years old before August 1st to enroll.  Several two-day classes (half-day and full-day) and one four-day class (for older PreK children) are offered.  For more information, check the church website or contact Angela Bush, Second Friends Director, at 781.3882.

 

Family Dedications

Families with newborn or newly-adopted children are invited to participate in a time of dedication during worship.  This is a personal and meaningful moment for the family as well as the entire congregation.  Together we affirm the child as a life created in the image of God, recognize the parents’ responsibility for nurturing the spiritual development of the child, and claim responsibility as a congregation for supporting both the child and the parents.  Anyone wishing to participate may call the church office or Angie Fuller (415.2250).

 

Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)

Fellowship and support are offered to mothers of young children from this church and the surrounding community.  The group meets on the second Friday of each month (Sept. – May) from 9:30-11:30 AM with childcare provided.  Meetings include brunch, encouraging discussions, guest speakers, and crafts.  A variety of “Moms and Tots” and “Moms Night Out” events are often scheduled, as well as ongoing interest and support groups.  For more information, contact Kristin Wooldridge, MOPS Coordinator, at 792.2564 or mops2bc@gmail.com.
