2008 Kids Summer VBS/VBX Ministry

      Each year (usually in July), we have a theme for our VBS/VBX week for all kids age 4 through 6th grade from 9AM to noon each day for a week.  We had 129 kids enrolled for that week last year!  Check out our Kids VBS link to see more pictures and highlights of last year’s Game Day Central and this year's Outrigger Island!  Watch for details about this summer's VBX week.  Register for this summer by e-mailing leclairebaptist@leclairebaptist.org for more information. 

 

LeClaire Chamber of Commerce

      LeClaire Baptist Church is a member of the LeClaire Chamber of Commerce and is involved in many of our community events each year!

  

Tug Fest Community Tailgating Party

     Each year, our community pulls together during our annual Tug Fest weekend.  Each year the community enjoys a great parade which runs down Wisconsin Street, directly in front of LeClaire Baptist Church!  In 2003, LBC began a community “Tailgating Party” in our parking lot during this parade. 

     We continued that tradition ever since and brought in grills, cooked hot dogs, and gave away plates of FREE food and drinks to all those who were in our area watching the parade!  We served around 200 people this year, and plan another Tailgating Party next Tug Fest weekend!

If you plan to be around during next year's Tug Fest Parade, park in our parking lot, bring some lawnchairs, and “tailgate” before you watch the parade! 
     We had 200+ Krispy Kreme donuts donated to us, bottled water donated, and we gave out hot dogs, chips, water, kool-aid, and donuts to around 200 people watching or part of the parade!

     Hope to see you next year!  Watch for dates for LeClaire's Tug Fest parade.  Stop by early and "tailgate"!

  

Tug Fest Booth

     LeClaire’s Tug Fest has grown over the years and is a great weekend in our community, attracting over 10,000 people over the weekend!  Check out their link above or TugFest.com for more details.  Over the past 5 years, we set up a booth down with all of the other vendors, games, rides, etc… 

     We had a registration drawing and have given away prizes like a mountain bike, DVD player, gift card to Gander Mountain, ipod, and more over the years! 

     We also gave away free LBC balloons filled with helium for the kids, free water, had free facepainting for the kids, and had great opportunities to meet not only people from LeClaire, but from all over the country! 

     We had almost 200 people stop by our booth!  Look for us again for Tug Fest 2008!

 
 

 

CrossRoads Superbowl Party

     Our teens head over to our Youth Pastor's home and enjoy watching the “Big Game” on the “Big Screen” with their friends.  With plenty of food, drinks, and prizes, it makes for an exciting night cheering on your team!

Halloween Open House

    We have an Open House of our facilities during Halloween night each year.  We open up our facilities, hand out bags of candy, pumpkins, give away hot chocolate, cookies, balloons, and information about our church and kids ministries!  We have a powerpoint display set up about our ministries and services, as well as a tour of our classrooms and facilities and facepainting for the kids.

Christmas in LeClaire Nativity Scene

     Each year, our teens set up and “man” a Nativity Scene at "Grasshoppers" in downtown LeClaire during our “Christmas in LeClaire” weekend.  They dress up in costumes for those parts, give away hot chocolate and cookies all while Christmas music is playing and filtering through downtown LeClaire. "Christmas in LeClaire" is usually the first full weekend in December.  Check the city link for confirmation of those dates.

Baby Care Package & New Family Welcome Letters

     With the LeClaire community growing comes plenty of opportunities to welcome new families and individuals moving into LeClaire.  We have enjoyed sending out a Welcome letter and brochure to each new family moving into or transferring to LeClaire each month.  This gives an opportunity to inform each new family about our church, ministries, and community.  We also have given out a package of baby care items to mothers with new babies each month, showing them we care.
