I hope you all are enjoying the hint of fall. It’s coming! Personally, I enjoy living in an area where we get to experience all the seasons of the year. Each brings a different beauty!
Here are a few reminders for the coming weeks.
Preschool Ministry Teacher/Leader Training
We are offering training for our new teachers and leaders who have just begun teaching and for our more experienced leaders. On Sunday, September 21, at 5:00 p.m. you are invited to meet with other teachers like yourself to get some new ideas and learn more about how you can teach our preschoolers about God, Jesus, Church, and the Bible. I hope you will make it a priority. We certainly appreciate all that you do and all that you provide for our children at Brentwood Baptist Church. You will be hearing more about the training in the next week. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
New LIFE Group Opportunities for Preschool Teachers
The adult minister, Jay Fennell, has enlisted a couple who would like to offer a Bible study opportunity for teachers who do not currently attend a Life Group. Of course, you teach on a Sunday morning and may not be connected in Bible study with other adults. Here is your chance to “make new friends.” I think you might have used those words with preschoolers. Here is your invitation to engage with other adults in Bible study.
On Wednesday, October 1 in Room 2062 at 6:15 p.m. a LIFE Group is launching that will specifically target Sunday morning workers who are not currently connected to a group. The group leaders are Mardon and Richelle Day, relatively new to BBC, but passionate about leading and investing in people. As Jay and the Days talked about starting a new group, Jay brought up a need that we’ve been wrestling with for over a year now—a LIFE Group for preschool and children’s workers who can’t plug in on Sundays because of their responsibilities with children. Mardon lit up as I described that need because he and Richelle have served in that capacity and know what it feels like.
A few words from Mardon:
Richelle and I have been married for 23-years and have two daughters, Elizabeth (14), and Emily (10). We are new to the Brentwood Baptist Church family. In our previous church home, we had the joy of leading an adult Bible study for 7 years. We are passionate about the importance of discipleship in each believer’s life. Our goal is to live out Romans chapter 12 which emphasizes the importance of our lives being a living sacrifice to our Creator as we humbly serve in the body of Christ, putting His love and grace into action each and every day.
See you Sunday!
