In addition to its commitment to the community’s Vacation Church School in Sugust, Delmar Baptist Church will hold Pre-Kingergarten classes and sponsor seven students in a Neighborhood Youth Corps program.
The Pre-Kindergarten, for children who will enter Kindergarten this Fall and will be five years old by September, is aimed at helping children without previous Pre-School experience to prepare for Kindergarten through play, learning activities, and field trips. Classes will be held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 A.M. until 2 P.M., beginning June 18, and free. Children are asked to bring sack lunches.
Summer Pre-Kindergarten Enrollment still underway. Call church office, 725-2311.
In cooperation with the SDCC, Delmar Baptist submitted a proposal for a Neighborhood Youth Corps program to be held at the Church. The students, who have already been selected will take upholstering classes twenty hours per week. The purpose is to teach the youths a marketable skill.
The church will provide a working base for two young Southern Baptist missionaries, Nancy Stevenson, from our neighborhood, and Theresa Nunez from Tyler, Texas. The women will be involved in the Pre-Kindergarten, vac Vacation Church School, andN NYC program; they will also work as cenus takersand make home visits in the area.
