Let’s Connect

We partner with area churches to provide an opportunity for kids (PreK-5th grade complete) to explore what it would be like to live in Jesus’ time. The kids will experience traditional family prayer rituals, a busy marketplace of crafts and snacks, and the stories of Jesus at the Sea of Galilee. VBS will happen outside with other COVID mitigation strategies in place as well. VBS is Monday-Wednesday, June 13-15 from 9:30-12:15 pm.  We are looking for VBS volunteers; teens and adults can sign up here.

Let’s have have some fun and spread some love while we volunteer together at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. On Tuesday, June 21, you’re invited to join folks from FBCA2 as we greet attendees at Top of the Park and offer guidance regarding compost, recycling, and landfill items to help reach the Festival Footprint goals! All ages are welcome! Volunteers under the age of 10 yrs do not need to officially sign up but are invited to come with their families! We encourage all volunteers to wear one of our “Love Over Everything” t-shirts. Let’s spread the love! If you’d like to purchase a t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, or sweatshirt you can do so here. Youth and adult sizes are available. Church is happy to subsidize the cost when needed.

Many ministry partners help make the Sunday mornings happen! Sign up to greet, usher, and/or set up and clean up Fellowship Time.

Each Sunday this summer, we are looking for 1 volunteer to laugh and play with the kids! Volunteers will always be working in partnership with our paid caregiver. This is a great opportunity for teens (6th grade and older) and adults alike!

Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month at FBCA2. Each Communion Sunday, we need 6 people to partner with Pastors Stacey and Paul to distribute communion. For more information about the specific roles and responsibilities click here: Communion Instructions.

Have questions? Connect with Board of Worship member, Cesar Alaniz (calaniz@umich.edu).

It is a treat to have flowers for worship! Would you like to help make this happen? If so, choose a Sunday, share in the comment who you’d like to honor (or give thanks for) with the flowers which will be included in the bulletin, and then bring a bouquet of flowers to church during the day on Friday or Sunday morning (by 9:40)! Questions? Connect with Maryann Bowen, chair of Board of Worship (mb_bowen@comcast.net).

Our Vespers program serves a meal on each Tuesday to any who come. We provide a friendly atmosphere and good food. First Baptist Church Ann Arbor shares this ministry with Northside Community Church, Bethel United Church of Christ, and First Methodist Church of Saline. Those churches prepare and serve on the 3rd-5th Tuesdays.

We are in need of volunteers to help cook or serve a hot meal on the third Thursday of each month at the Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti. Interested? Contact Karen Rayner or simply sign up!. No experience required and ALL are welcome (friends, family, colleagues…). Why not sign-up for a time with a friend? Volunteers must be 12 or older.

Youth, you are an important part of our worshiping community! 6th through 12th graders are invited to acolyte once a month or every other month.
