If you check on the website, you will see these verses are designed for younger kids.
  Why are we using these verses?
These verses may be familiar to your children.
  Why are we using these verses?

We are using these verses to help promote scripture memory with children and families.  Our long range goal is to begin a church wide scripture memory program. 

Please take time to help your children learn these foundational verses.  You should also take time to memorize them yourself.

ONE SERVICE

At last week's Impact Service, Pastor Duke announced we will be going to one service starting December 1st.  That means there will be some changes to the service schedule.  I would like for each family to commit to pray for EBC's family ministry leadership as we think through how to best minister to the families that come to EBC.
Please email children@emmanuelbaptist.com if you would take time at least once a week to pray for EBC's family minsitry.
