Why do I attend First Baptist Church of Lawrence?

I was sick recently with pneumonia and the people here called almost every day, sent get well cards, and made sure that I was well cared for. The caring people here are one of the many reasons why I attend First Baptist.

Summer Sunday School

This summer, we will be replacing our Vacation Bible School program with an intergenerational Sunday school program. We will be traveling to Egypt to hear the story of Joseph over five weeks from July 11 through August 8. Check back for registration and more details

Summer Field Trips

During the summer, we here at FBC host Wacky Wednesdays and Fun Friday trips for elementary age children. We have visited the zoo, museums, farms, and had other fun adventures. Parents are welcome to come along and join in the fun.

Last summer on July 29, 24 children and adults from First Baptist Church went to the Narnia exhibit at Union Station in Kansas City. We had a wonderful time. After visiting the land of Narnia, we headed over to Union Station where we had lunch, saw the lego exhibit, and did some shopping.

Look for upcoming news on summer events for 2010.
