Lock ins and Retreats
Youth need time away from
the demands of everyday, so
a few times each year we
arrange for lock-in overnights
at the church or one– or two–
night retreats. These
extended times are fun and
relaxing, and also allow us to
explore themes like
“Friendship” or “Change.”
Retreats may be for the
combined group, or be
separate Middle and Senior
High events.

Mission and Service
Middle and Senior High Youth are very involved in the life
of our congregation and participate in a variety of mission
and service opportunities both within and beyond the
local church. This year we anticipate a special opportunity
for older youth on their own and younger youth
accompanied by a parent to participate in a church-wide,
week-long mission trip to the Gulf Coast during Spring
Break. We will be helping to raise funds and awareness
throughout the year.

LOU AND STU MASSIE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

met in college and both received scholarship assistance from their
respective Baptist churches. Stu is looking forward to passing along this
opportunity to future generations of First Baptist students.
High school and college students need to apply by May 1st for the Fall
semester. Applications can be picked up in the church office. Service to
the church, community and school will be considered for selection of the
recipient.
We welcome additional contributions to this scholarship fund so that we may
be able to increase the grant amount in the future.
