Happy Birthday Jesus

Happy Birthday Jesus is a party for children.  They will see a living nativity, and hear a special story, and end with enjoying birthday cake to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  Bring children from preschool through 6th grade to the FUMC gym this Sunday during the Sunday School hour and enjoy this special party.

Fitness Camp

Join us July 12-16 for Shapin’ Up, our health and fitness camp for kids who have completed 1st – 6th grade.  We will be focusing on healthy habits and attitudes for kids regarding their bodies, food, and exercise.  Kids will learn to be aware of how they spend their free time and what they are putting into their bodies.  They will be given challenges to help focus on healthy habits.  They will also learn simple, healthy exercises and stretches they can do daily.

The camp will meet from 9-12 Monday-Friday in the FUMC gym.  Kids will start the morning with some fun activities, then do some learning about health and exercise.  A water and snack break is included, then they will enjoy a short Bible message and a health challenge.  The morning will wrap up with some games and movement.

The Baptist Healthplex is joining with us to make this a safe and healthy learning experience for our kids.  We hope your child will join us for this week of fun and fitness.
