Summer Bible Study
for Kids
Wednesdays 6:00 – 7:00 pm
The Summer Bible Study for kids, Lord, Teach Me to Pray, starts June 19th at 6:00 PM. During the summer, we will have a training facility for God's Special Forces. This is an elite team made up of guys and girls who want to know God (the Commander in Chief) and have a special relationship with Him. As part of God's Special Forces, you will be trained as a communications specialist and will
learn how to pray God's way. Prayer is our direct line of communication with the Commander in Chief, and the only training manual is His training manual, the Bible, the source of all truth. Are you up for the challenge? If so, head to the barracks (foyer) and sign up today!
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gifts
Christmas trees have been placed in the foyers as a reminder that it is time to purchase school supplies for shoebox gifts. Take an ornament (or two), purchase the items listed
and bring the items to the church. Collection boxes are in the foyers. We will use the items to fill shoeboxes in October. July is a great time to purchase school supplies at reduced prices. School supplies are a great
addition to shoebox gifts.

Kids4Truth Clubs
New Kids Program, August 7th, 2024
Kids4Truth Clubs, First Baptist Church Dayton, 6:00pm
www.kids4truth.com
PURPOSE WITH DEFINED SCOPE & SEQUENCE:
Kids4Truth Clubs equips local churches, families, or ministry-minded individuals to reach kids worldwide through creatively and memorably taught doctrinal truth.
The Kids4Truth curriculum has a very defined scope and sequence. The curriculum is broken up into twelve key doctrines of our faith. Each of these doctrinal themes contain ten question and answers along with supporting Bible verses. The curriculum is available in four age levels designed to cover all twelve doctrinal themes. This knowledge is repeated and deepened in every level of learning in order to give these children a firm grasp of basic Bible doctrine and a solid framework whereby to base all other life decisions. As the child progresses through the four levels, the same doctrines will be studied more thoroughly and with the purpose of deepening each child’s understanding and appreciation of God’s truth.
*Like Awana, Kids are motivated with award patches and a Kids4truth store.
12 DOCTRINAL THEMES
1: God’s Word – The Bible
2: The Greatness of God
3: The Goodness of God 4: The Trinity
5: God’s Creation
6: God’s View of You 7: God’s Law

From the Pastor:
First Baptist Family!
Happy Birthday!
July 4th, 1776 is considered the Birthday of the
United States of America, while the Declaration
of Independence is considered our Birth
Certificate!
This year we turn 248 years and I fear not that
we will cease to exist, but that we will not be
relevant!
One of the signers of the declaration was a
very accomplished man that may have been the
most respected men involved in that wonderful
document; His name was Benjamin Rush.
In addition, he was also known for being
surgeon general of the continental army; ratifier
of the constitution; “father of American
medicine”; treasurer of the U.S. mint; “father of
public schools under the constitution”.
Let me share 3 quotes to give you confidence
that we were founded on Christian principles.
“Christianity is the only true and perfect religion;
and in proportion as mankind adopt its principles
and obey its precepts, they will be wise and
happy.”
“The Bible contains more knowledge necessary to
man in his present state than any other book in the
world.”
“The Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom
read in any subsequent period of life… The
Bible… should be read in our schools in
preference to all other books because it contains
the greatest portion of that kind of knowledge
which is calculated to produce private and public
happiness.”
This July, take the time and read the true history
of our nation. If we knew how our country was
founded maybe we wouldn’t be so quick to give it
away to the ungodly!
Have Faith! Have Knowledge! Stand Up!
Pastor Bob
