Vacation Bible School

VBS ad.png

We are excited to offer an in-person option for Vacation Bible School this year while continuing to do our best to keep students safe. Thus, VBS will look a little different. But it will still have all the same fun of Bible stories, games, crafts, music, and dancing we are used to!

This year we are offering 2 sessions of VBS:
1 for 4 year olds - completed kindergarteners and 1 for completed 1st - 5th graders.
Each session has 40 slots available. This will help us ensure we have enough space for each small group.

Registration is available through the links below.
Please be on the lookout for an email to the address you provide a week prior to VBS. This will give you information about check-in/pick-up and your child’s group assignment.

Volunteer for one or both sessions of Vacation Bible School here!

Stations of the Nativity: An Advent Journey

The music ministry of Georgetown Baptist Church is excited to invite you to join us for a very special Christmas musical celebration, ¨Stations of the Nativity: An Advent Journey.¨ Stations of the Nativity is a unique Covid-adjusted experience featuring many of our beloved musicians and ensembles leading us through the Christmas story. You and your family cluster (up to 8 individuals) can sign up for a time on Friday, December 18 or Saturday, December 19, to travel through the church building station by station led by a shepherd-guide to hear the Christmas story told through music and narration. The journey will last approximately one hour (six stations). We are also making plans to record the performances and post them online for those who prefer not to attend in-person. 

Sign-ups for Stations of the Nativity are LIVE now at the link below!

About

The Toy Store is a ministry of Georgetown Baptist and Gano Baptist Churches. We offer this ministry to families who would benefit from a reduced cost on Christmas gifts for their children but still want to purchase their own gifts. As local churches, we love our Georgetown community and deeply believe that God calls us to show love, respect, and dignity to our neighbors. God loves you, and we hope you feel God’s love in this ministry.

Shopper Safety & instructions

This year’s store will look a little different from previous years. In order to limit numbers in our store and maintain safety, we will limit our store to one family/group at a time.

Shoppers must wear masks.
Volunteers will wear masks and sanitize the store periodically.

Someone from the church will be in touch with each shopper the week before the store to assign an arrival window. This will help space out the crowd. Times are negotiable.

  • When you arrive for your shopping time at Georgetown Baptist Church, please park in the small rear lot on Clinton St.

    *Clinton St. is a one-way street. Enter from Broadway and look for directional yard signs.

  • Remain in your car.

  • A volunteer will come check you in at your car and lead you into the building when we are ready for you.

  • Adults only if possible during shopping.

The Toy Story is completed for the 2020 year. Thank you.
