CHURCH WIDE
New City Catechism: We’ve begun posting one question and answer per week, for 52 weeks. Our hope is that you will take the time each week to memorize these questions and answers in an effort to strengthen your biblical knowledge and to “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15).

VBS 2019: Decoration Team Members Needed NOW! We are expanding our VBS Decor team from a group of 3 to a minimum of 6 team members. We have an exceptional Leader who has a vision for our theme and would appreciate input and assistance to make this portion of VBS a success. You don’t have to be a professional artist to be a part of this team, of course – but if that’s your gift, fantastic! It’s more about being a helpful, positive team member, and completing assigned tasks on time. We will provide all the supplies needed. To share your gifts, please contact Cherie Niscavits at cherie.niscavits@bayarea.church or 281/332-2133, ext. 105.
Champion’s Club: We look forward to opening our Champion’s Club classrooms, ministering well to families. One room is outfitted with motor and sensory equipment and the other will be our teaching room. We are blessed to have these tools to minister to kids needing one-on-one assistance. However, we will not open until we have a strong team of leaders secured and trained to serve. You don’t have to be a professionally educated teacher, but those of you with this training would be extremely helpful to our ministry. If you are interested in supporting this ministry, email cherie.niscavits@bayarea.church or you may apply at bayarea.church/go/.
252 Kids (Worship): Our NEW Kids Theater is open for our 1st-4th grade worship at 9:30. It is a spectacular space with the tools to enhance worship and teaching. It takes PEOPLE to make the most of the gifts we’ve been given (including our kids). Opportunities are available for Teachers, Worship, Drama, Tech and Kid Connectors. Training is ongoing! Applicants may apply at bayarea.church/go or email eric.davis@bayarea.church for more information.
