SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW Sundays | 10:30 am
It seems the post-Covid staffing shortage knows no bounds. Our Children's Ministry team is looking for teachers and shepherds (assistants) for pre-K thru 5th grade. This is a fabulous opportunity to engage our youngest members in a time of active learning, prayer, and praise for our God. Our Celebrate Wonder curriculum offers numerous options of games and activities each week and all materials are provided by Baker. Click here to see what we're teaching this year and where you'd like to help or contact Shelly Stienbarger at [email protected]

YOUTH MUSIC MAKERS
Youth participation in worship at Baker Memorial Church has always been an important part of our church ministry and yet we understand that it is a challenging time to form full ensembles. We are hoping to provide a flexible yet meaningful way for you to share your musical gift to the Glory of God in worship. It may be only one Sunday of the year, but we are hoping that you will take advantage of this opportunity to serve. If your youth (3rd grade-HS) would like to perform solo or as part of an ensemble, please sign up here!
