First Baptist Church of Walnut Valley (FBCWV) is calling all kids who have completed grades 1 through 6 to come and make new friends and participate in an exciting music experience. The 11th Annual Summer Music Camp, held Monday through Friday, July 28 through August 8, is an amazing program offering music education and experiences led by trained and dedicated leaders.
Children can enjoy music, singing, choreography, drama, Bible lessons, crafts, games, water fun, and a special field trip in this two-week adventure that runs from daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The camp ends on August 8 with a celebratory 30-foot banana split, followed by a special performance for family and friends on Sunday, August 10.
The cost is only $120 per person for the entire camp, but space is limited. Register at the church office Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to noon, and 1:30 to 4 p.m.
FBCWV first came into being in 1969 as a mission church that conducted its services in a school cafeteria. Since then, they have grown into so much more, and are known as “a small church with a big outreach.” They offer opportunities and activities for all ages, from nursery to adult, on a daily basis. These activities include Bible Study groups, Men’s Fellowship, Youth Groups, Sports Ministries, Mission Trips, and their Performing Arts Ministry.
The Church’s sense of family and passion carry over into their different avenues of ministry, including performing arts. “Our purpose is to use the avenue of music and drama as a ministry that will introduce people to Jesus, generate a closer spiritual walk with Him and encourage fellowship and service with other Believers,” says the Director of Performing Arts and King’s Kids, Yvonne Read.
Sunday services begin at 10:30 a.m., with a 9:15 a.m. Bible Study group available for all ages. Everyone is welcome to attend. According to Read, “We are a caring family and are always excited as we lovingly welcome new members to help serve and worship with us. You will feel right at home and cherished.”
Pastor Glenn Miyazono presents the Bible message each week with clear and inspiring words. “The music will thrill your heart,” he says.
