2011 Kids Summer VBX (Vacation Bible EXperience) Program

Each year (usually in July), we have a different theme for our VBX week for all kids age 4 through 6th grade from 9AM to noon each day for a week.  We had around 60 kids involved for that week this summer!  Check out our Kids VBX link to see more pictures and highlights!  Get more information about next summer's VBX week by clicking on the "kids vbx" link on the left of this page.  Register online from our "kids vbx" page beginning in June, 2012 or by e-mailing leclairebaptist@leclairebaptist.org for more information.

 

Tug Fest Community Tailgating Party & booth

 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 and has continued it every year since.      We bring in grills, cook hot dogs, and give 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 during Tug Fest weekend in 2012!  If you plan to be around during this year's Tug Fest parade, park in our parking lot, bring some lawnchairs, and “tailgate” as you enjoy free food and drinks while you watch the parade - all for FREE and no obligation!    We usually give out hot dogs, chips, water, kool-aid, etc... and also have free facepainting for kids, give out free helium balloons, and have a large parking lot for free parking and a great place to set your lawnchairs right along the route!     Hope to see you in 2012 - stop by early and "tailgate"!  Watch for dates for LeClaire's Tug Fest parade on the Tug Fest link.

   

     

       

 

CrossRoads Teen Superbowl Party

     Each February, 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!  Check out our CrossRoads teen page link for more info.

    

Halloween Open House

    We have an Open House for kids 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 programs!  We have a powerpoint display set up about our church and kids programs, as well as a tour of our classrooms and facilities and facepainting for the kids.

2008 RAGBRAI involvement

LeClaire was the ending site of 2008's RAGBRAI bikeride across Iowa.  LBC volunteers took pictures of some of the 15,000 + riders as they dipped their tires in the Mississippi River and gave out a card with our website where we uploaded those pictures to view to download and print those pictures for free. 

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 in the past.  This gives an opportunity to inform each new family about our church, programs, and community.  We have also periodically given out a package of baby care items to moms with new babies, showing them we care.
