THERE WILL BE NO JUNIOR CHURCH THIS SUNDAY, 7/25/10 FOR GRADES 1 THROUGH 4.

TO ALL PARENTS OF CAMPERS: If you haven't sent in your final payment for camp and/or health form for your child, please be sure to have it to the office of First Baptist Church of Downers Grove - Maple & Washington Street by Friday, 7/23/10. The church office hours are: 9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. and gone for lunch between 12:30-1:30 P.M.

It takes a lot of unnecessary time if we have to collect on the day we leave for camp.

Also, if your child is not riding the bus home, we need that statement in writing from you also. Via email is fine: firstbaptist@juno.com

Thank you for your attention to this.
