To be like Jesus
Song for children based on the fruit of the Spirit.
in April, Baptist Youth held the Big Nite Out for kids. We looked at the life of Saul (Paul) and saw that his encounter with Jesus he was a new creation and that a life marked by the Spirit of God displays certain fruit (Gal 5).

In the afternoons we helped the Church with their Holiday Bible Club, we had an average of about fifteen to twenty children each day. During the week we also ran...
