This Sunday is the Opening of Baobab Blast, our Vacation Bible School, in cooperation with First Presbyterian Church-Pine Bluff!
The Baobab Blast curriculum is for children from 4 years old (Pre-K) to children entering the 7th grade. Rev. Jim Freeman, former CPC Co-pastor and current FPC-PB interim pastor, will be teaching an adult VBS as well! We’ll be teaching from 5:30pm to 7:30pm each night, Sunday thru Thursday. A light dinner and snacks will be provided! We are still looking for volunteers! If interested contact Laura Cosner, Laura Festa, Bubba VonTunglen, or Denise Mosley! We look forward to seeing everyone there!
This Sunday we will be taking up the Annual Presbyterian Women Birthday Offering. From the PC(USA) website…
The offering funds up to five projects that are not included in ongoing General Assembly mission support, such as agricultural development, child care, community organization, criminal justice, drug counseling, economic justice, elderly care, employment training, homelessness, literacy, violence and women’s concerns.
