From the University Baptist Church newsletter:
The Preschool and Children’s Ministry team invites everyone to come and enjoy this annual event. Ladies, dust off your bonnets, and men and women fire up your ovens. We will have the annual Bonnet Parade, as well as a first annual bake-off. We will have an Easter Egg Hunt for toddlers-kindergarteners and one for 1st-5th graders. There will also be bounce houses, games, and other activities for all the kids.
The Preschool and Children’s Ministry Teams are asking for donations of plastic Easter eggs for Family Fun Day. Please fill the eggs with non-melting candy, small prizes or stickers. We are asking that all children participating donate a dozen plastic eggs for the egg hunt. There will be a donation box in the Preschool Area of the Church and in the fellowship hall. Thank you for your contribution.

This Saturday November 5 is a “church work day” from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon.
What is a “church work day”? It is a day when we help take care of the wonderful church property that we enjoy using. We might clean, paint, repair. We also need people to help with drinks, snacks, and encouraging volunteer workers. No one has to participate. But if you have time Saturday morning and would like to help you will be very welcome. There will be something to do for everyone. There will be a volunteer supervisor who has a list of things for us to do.
Church of the Nations has been asked to help this Saturday. There will be four other groups from University Baptist Church. If you come make sure you wear “work clothes” – clothes that can get dirty.
This Sunday evening October 23 University Baptist Church will have its “Fall Fest” event. This event is mostly but not only for children. Children can also wear costumes – but please no monsters or scary costumes. It will start on the “front property” of University Baptist Church close to Highland Road.
Directions (from Louisiana State University):
There will not be a church bus for this activity.
