Summer Blast: Day One - Out To See!

First Baptist Church of San Diego's annual kids camp (VBS) launched today with "Out To See!" 

All week long, kids from FBCSD and around University City will be running around out campus - or sailing we should say... having fun while learning Bible verses, singing praise songs, and learning about Bible Stories and how much Jesus loves them.  It is a great time for all, including the volunteers!

And, this Friday evening, we want YOU to get on board and join us for a fantastic BBQ on the patio to celebrate what God has done this week.  Once again, Beach Pit Barbecue is providing food.  Cost is just $6 per person.  Please RSVP with Lyndsey Mercer at lyndsey@fbcsd.com. 

Please pray every day this week for each of the kids, the volunteers and for Lyndsey Mercer, our Children's Director.  Its an important week for everyone!

Check out just a few pictures of today's fun below, and at our church Facebook page at facebook.com/fbcsd. 

We are so excited about what God is doing this week!

Skate Demo Outreach with Richard Jefferson This Thursday!

With school getting out soon and all the students looking forward to spending their free time skateboarding around town we thought why not have them skateboard at FBC? 

That is why THIS THURSDAY, June 10, we are bringing out professional skateboarder Richard Jefferson to put on a awesome demo of his God given ability to bust some jaw dropping and eye pooping tricks!

While Richard is an amazing skater he is also a brother in Christ.  We have chosen him to come and kick off our summer by not only skating with the students, but also by sharing his testimony of how he is a modern day prodigal son and is now back at home with the Father and loving every minute of it. 

Richard has been skating now to share the Good News of who Jesus is and how others can be saved through a true belief in Jesus as their savior.  God has been using his unique story to relate to students and share with them the truth about who Christ is and challenging the younger generation to live out their faith in Christ.   See video below!

Please pray for this outreach and invite any High Schooler or Middle Schooler you know

Thursday, June 10, 2010, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at FBC (Download Flyer Here)

 

To learn more about Richard Jefferson, see his website here:

Thank you for your prayers - pray that many kids receive Christ on Thursday night!
