1st Explorers After School Ministry Right Around the Corner

With school just a few short weeks away, the 1st Explorers Ministry is gearing up to serve children during after school hours. This important outreach of the church can benefit from your involvement. How?

  1. Pray for the staff, the children, and their families.

  2. Provide healthy snacks throughout the year for those hungry children.

  3. Volunteer to lead an activity—something that you would like to share. Are you good at making things, do you like to bake, have you traveled to interesting places, are you good at playing games? Think about ways to connect your skills with the children.

  4. Be a part of our "Backdoor Brigade." Folks are needed from 2:50 p.m. to 5:20 p.m. to greet the children when they arrive, to greet parents when they pick up the children, and to say "Bye" when it is time for the children to go home. These people put a face to Sylva First Baptist Church.

  5. We try to keep tuition costs at a reasonable price but sometimes families struggle to make their payments. There are supplies that need to be replenished throughout the year. Sometimes special needs arise. If you would like to know how you can help in contributing monetarily, contact Marina Graham-Hunley for more information.

Thank you, First Baptist, for being a beacon of light to these children and their families!
