First Baptist Church of Woodlawn
Children
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
Children are important at First Baptist. We want them to have a safe,
loving and nurturing environment to grow into healthy and strong young
men and women of God. So children are welcome at our worship
services, and we have special events and programs for them.

CHILDREN SERMONS:
During our Sunday morning worship service we have a children’s
sermon. During this children and youth time, the children are invited to
the front where our pastor will pull out a surprise from his brown paper
bag. From items like m&m’s, balloons and pennies, God’s truths are
explained on a children’s level. Of course sometimes Bob the magician
makes a special appearance to do a children’s sermon that has a little bit
of magic in it.  

NURSERY:
Each week a nursery is provided during the worship service for young
children. The nursery is staffed by loving and attentive volunteers from
our congregation. Our nursery has recently been remodeled and
dedicated in memory of Pastor Steve Hanrahan.

SPECIAL EVENTS:
Special events and parties are held for the children throughout the
course of the year. Some fun events held in 2009 were an Easter Egg
hunt, Summer Church picnic with children’s games, Noah’s Ark party
and breakfast with Santa.
