Woodlake Baptist Church San Antonio Texas

Children are very important at Woodlake. We strive to have or participate in meaningful
activities and programs that teach them basic Biblical principals. Below you will find some of
our regular activities for children. We also have a Vacation Bible School each year and
provide the opportunity for children to attend Children's Camp during the summer.

Sunday mornings are great fun for our children. We have a Sunday School
class for everyone. Even the little ones in the nursery hear a Bible story
and have fun activities to do. Each class is a little different, just like the
kids in them. Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m.

Our Children's Praise and Worship Service, P.A.W.S. is a special time for children who
are 4 years old through 3rd grade to have a service just for them. They will hear a
"sermon" just for them, sing songs and learn about worship. Children will attend the
first part of the regular worship service. Following the offertory, they will be dismissed
to their worship area for the Children's P.A.W.S.

On the first Sunday of each month we do not have P.A.W.S., so children may participate
in and learn about our regular worship services. For these services, children may pick up
a "worship bag" that has activities just for them. We try to coordinate these activities
with the pastor's message.

GA's and RA's for boys and girls in grades 1-6:

At 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, the same time the adults are having Prayer
Meeting and Bible Study, our 1-6 graders are learning about missionaries
and mission fields all around the world. We have Girls in Action (GAs) for
the girls and Royal Ambassadors (RAs) for the boys.

Each month the GAs and RAs learn about a different country, it's people
how they live. They will learn about a missionary from that country and
their family. Each group has different and unique activities that they do as
well as mission projects to help others.

Mission Friends for pre-schoolers:

Mission Friends is a missions education program for younger children (boys &
girls) who are kindergarten age and younger. The primary objective of Mission
Friends is to provide a strong foundation for preschoolers in a Christian and
missions lifestyle.

Mission Friends provides developmentally appropriate missions learning
experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on
others, to become aware that not everyone knows about God's love, and to
understand ways they can help others know about this good news!

Children's Choir is for boys and girls in grades 1-6. Rehearsals are Wednesday
evenings at 6:00 p.m. Children will learn the basics of singing and music. They
will gain confidence as they present special music during worship services and
musicals for special occasions. Children's choir is fun yet requires commitment
and dedication from children (and parents). Occasionally additional rehearsals
are required.

Parents will have the opportunity to help, if they like, with costumes, props
and back-drops for musicals. If you would like more information, please contact
our Minister of Music & Worship, Chuck Philips.
