Mission Opportunity
Dear First Baptist Family,
For the past NINE years, FBC has partnered with our neighbor, Alderman Elementary, by providing: school supplies for children who financially struggle, tutoring buddies for Kindergarteners learning to read, and prayer partners for teachers and faculty who would desire prayer support. This mission partnership has allowed our church to use the gifts and resources God has given us to bless our neighbors but more importantly, our church has been blessed by the children and faculty of this wonderful school!

We reached out to the principal, Kate Tayloe inquiring how FBC could best meet the needs of Alderman's students and staff given the online learning start to the new school year. Below is a letter received by Ms. Tayloe for our congregation, requesting assistance by providing supplies for at-home learning kits.

Please read below and assist if you can by purchasing supplies through the Amazon link below. Supplies can be shipped directly to the school. Thank you for continuing to 'be the church' through loving all our neighbors.

To Our Friends at First Baptist,
As we prepare to open the 20-21 school year, our hearts are heavy! We want more than anything to have our Soaring Eagles back with us at Alderman, and very much look forward to the time when we can safely welcome them back. While we will not begin the 20-21 school year with our students filling our halls and classrooms, we remain committed to providing a quality education to our students. 

To prepare our students to learn at home, we will be building a Remote Learning Kit for each student, which will be picked up from school or delivered to students on Friday, August 13. Each kit will include the supplies, materials, and resources our students will need to engage in learning with their teachers.

We are incredibly grateful for your congregation's generosity in helping us acquire some of the items for our students' Remote Learning Kits. We have created an Amazon Wish List which includes the items needed:  CLICK HERE

If you have questions or need additional information, please let me know.

We remain eternally grateful for the support of our friends at First Baptist!

Kate
