REGISTER BY JUNE 7
We are excited to announce that First Baptist Church will host a three-hour condensed Vacation Bible School on Friday, June 12th. The theme of VBS will be “Illumination Station: Shining a Light on Who Jesus Really Is.”
The verse of the day will be John 8:12: Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
FBC will advertise the event through flyers, ads, and signage. Our goal is to register 100 children for the day's activities. The kids will get to attend sessions for crafts, recreation, STEM activities, and, of course, snacks. Their craft activity will include creating a tie-dyed t-shirt to take home.
We need volunteers! If you can help with snacks, lead the children to their next rotation, etc., please sign up with the church office or on the sheet in the sanctuary hallway. Be sure to include your t-shirt size when you sign up. Every volunteer will get one!

Campus Outreach Students & Staff Arrive Soon
This week, we are excited to welcome the staff of Campus Outreach - Central Illinois, who will be worshipping with us for the summer. The students will arrive on Tuesday.
We’re thrilled to have Campus Outreach here, as they work in the community and spread Jesus' message. They will also participate in Sunday worship as members of our choir, assist in the nursery as needed, and engage with the students of the International Student ministry during the week. As you meet these staff and students in the coming weeks, take a moment to welcome them into our fellowship.
