Back for a Day

Mrs. Foster never planned to leave this job. She loves the kids, the staff, and the parents. But after four years as school coordinator, God called her to move out of her comfort zone. Be stretched.

She is the new Children's Minister at First Baptist Church. God has been preparing her for this ministry since her teenage years. She oversees the Sunday school program from nursery through 7th grade, works with the AWANA commander, is a mentor mom at MOPS, and works with the
children's ministry team.

She misses her friends from MCCS and welcomes visits to her new office at the church. She is there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.

Please Paint Me!

As you can see by these pictures, we still need some painting done in the new bathroom in building 3. Painting may be completed anytime (except during school hours), and all the materials including paint will be provided. Just give the office a call and set up a date and time and we will make sure you are able to gain access to the building. Another great opportunity to get your volunteer hours completed!

Moms have Homework Too

The Wednesday morning Bible Study Fellowship class in Olympia has a Shelton delegation. New members are welcome to attend orientation the first Wednesday of the month. A children's program is available for 2 years through kindergarten, but you must make arrangements before attending. They are adding a baby's program in January. Bible Study Fellowship involves daily homework assignments and a structured Bible study format. This year's study is the book of John.

If you want more information or a ride to Westwood Baptist Church, talk to BSF veterans Sharon or Martha or rookies like Mary or Marlene.

Have Board Will Travel

To the chapel room and back. Fourth graders gave their first oral reports of the year. The students researched Christian biographies, made note cards, created visual aids, and practiced in preparation for this day. They learned important public speaking skills while being inspired by Christian heroes who have gone before. Good job, Mrs. Carpenter's class!
