Destination Dig: Unearthing The Truth About Jesus

VBS 2021 is headed to present-day Israel where discovery awaits at Destination Dig. Kids will unearth more than dirt as they dig up exciting evidence that proves biblical events were not just stories. As junior archaeologists, kids will explore real-life archaeological finds that have helped to uncover the truth about Jesus! Along the way, they’ll discover the truth of Jeremiah 29:13, that God reveals Himself to us when we seek and search for Him with all our hearts.

Vacation Bible School 2020

We are working on some on-line learning opportunities and we will let you know when those plans are made.

Thank You for your interest in our VBS. If there is anything that we can do to help you, please let us know.

Grab your hard hat and tool belt!

As kids explore a world of concrete and cranes, rivets and rebar, bulldozers and backhoes, they will learn to build their faith on Jesus as they uncover the truth that He who began a good work will be faithful to carry it on to completion at VBS 2020 July 27th - 31st.

Trail Life USA

The First Baptist Church Trail Life USA Troop LA-1273 will be having its first annual Open House and informational Bonanza to sign up new recruits on January 26, 2020 at 4:00 P.M. in the Fellowship Hall.  Trail Life USA is an exciting outdoor youth development organization steeped in the values and priorities of the Christian Faith.  It is dedicated to a mission “…to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.”

This exciting new Ministry will forward the opportunity for boys ages 5-18 to join our newly formed troop.  The initial registration is being offered to members, friends, and family of First Baptist Church, Jennings.  An annual fee will be required at registration.  The leadership of the FBC TLUSA will be introduced during the morning worship service on January 26.  We are excited to bring this program offering to the community.

The motto of Trail Life USA is “WALK WORTHY” …that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Colossians 1:10, NKJV

Please be in prayer for our Troop.

 

Blessings,

Todd Landry, Troop Ministry Liaison
