Summer Events for Children
Vacation Bible Camp is for kids entering Pre-K (at least 3 ½ years old and fully potty-trained) through 6th graders in fall 2013. We fill the mornings with spectacular story-telling, creative crafts, delectable snacks, upbeat music, and active, original outdoor games. Camp runs Monday through Friday (June 10-14) from 9:00 am to 11:30 am on the FBC campus. And, be sure to mark your family’s calendar for a VBC Open House on Thursday evening, June 13.
Pre-registration (for $18/child) will run through May 19. If you are interested in the Pre-K program, space is limited, so be sure to register promptly. Registration forms will also be available from the FBC church office or at the Children’s Ministry Table in the FBC courtyard on Sunday mornings. We never want cost to prevent a child from attending, so if you need information regarding a scholarship, please contact FBC Children’s Ministry Director, Kristi Gladding at kgladding@fbcdavis.org.

Grace In Action – God is at work at Grace in Action! Grace in Action, our local faith based ministry that serves the local homeless invites small groups to be part of our ministry by providing bag lunches for guests once a month. In April, our newly-hired Director left, at the same time, God opened a pathway in Mary Lou Rossetto’s life which allowed her to consider taking on the job. Mary Lou has been a volunteer at GIA as a compassionate minister and Interim Director and we are so grateful to now have her in the position of full-time Director.
