We will have games, crafts, snacks, stories, and music. We are asking that each child bring a new pair of pajamas in sizes newborn to child’s XL. Wrap them and mark with gender & size.

Come out to worship with us to further enjoy the new tree, the new ornaments, the decorated Sanctuary and the exterior of the building.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, it was a great night……The congregation trickled in, the kids were anxious, most of the food was ready….and then it happened…..the BBQ Chicken was a no show. Arrgh! Phone calls were made to the vendor. The stalwart congregation, in the meantime enjoyed some meaningful fellowship…..for about 45 minutes or so. Finally, the Chicken arrived much to the delight of the hungry congregation.
After some good food and fellowship, Ryan Short provided an outstanding program geared toward all ages. Great job FBC!
Day 9: We had a great day yesterday. Grilled 75 hamburgers and had delicious watermelon. The Youth from Belmopan had a wonderful time. Waiting for power to go off. Our youth are ready for worship this morning.
Day 8: We have had a fantastic week in Belize. I can’t say enough good things about our youth. They have been phenomenal! Bible School was a big success. The youth have some powerful experiences to share. Grayson went to the children’s home yesterday to take the sports equipment. It was an experience he will never forget.
Day 7: Great day in Belize yesterday. We visited the Mayan ruins which is a great highlight. Today is the last day of VBS. Our numbers have grown each day. Working with FUMC has been a great, positive experience. The kids have been great and have bonded very well. They are already planning ways to work together when we get back home.
Day 4: Another great day in Belize! Our numbers in Bible School increased again this morning and we were officially informed that they want us to lead the worship service this Sunday. We went to see the Howler Monkeys this afternoon. We go into the very heart of the rain forest and our guide “calls” the monkeys down from the trees. It is an incredible experience the kids will never forget.
These young people are phenomenal. They are working so well together and demonstrating exceptional leadership. They are all well and having a fantastic time.
Day 3: The kids had an amazing experience this afternoon as we went cave tubing. We explored one of the most incredible cave systems in Belize. The kids were able to jump off an underground cliff inside the cave into the cold water below. It was an experience they will never forget. Bible School went much better today. Everyone is having a great time in Belize.
Day 2: Belmopan is the capital city of Belize but there were no eggs to be found on Monday, August 3. There was Bible School in Belmopan. Lee and I had to leave to go to Belize City to get his bag, but not to worry–our youth took over and by the end of the day the children were so excited they couldn’t wait to come back tomorrow. The kitchen crew is busy getting ready for dinner tonight. The kids are resting. We saw a rainbow this morning that was a simple confirmation God is blessing us. Everyone is healthy. All is good.
Day 1: The group landed early in Belize and after a great lunch at Cheers we arrived at the camp about 3:00 pm. The only glitch is that LMabe’s suitcase is still at the airport–we hope! We find out in the morning. Everyone is tired but very happy to be here. Bible School begins in the morning.
