Dear Parents,

I am proud of your kids and their excitement to learning the Books of the Bible! Our kids have now learned the books of the Old Testament. ALL 39! Their challenge for next Wednesday is learning the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John!

We have a fun opportunity for the children of our ministry. As many of you know, we love sending Birthday cards and other Happy Mail to our kids. We are having a contest for our Birthday card design for 2025. More info below.

We have several dates below for you to add to your calendar! Invite your friends!

See you soon!

:) Ms. Tara

Director of Children and Family

BIRTHDAY CARD CONTEST! - We are accepting submissions from the kids in our ministry for our Children's Ministry Birthday cards for 2025! We will use one from each age group: Nursery/Preschool, Kindergarten-2nd and 3rd-5th! These submissions must be completed by the children. Parents, we know you are talented, but we want this to be their work. Please email your artwork to tara@firstwaco.com no later than November 7. If your child's artwork is chosen, we will request the original, so please hang on to it!
