What is Kid Junction?
It is a local mission provided by and operated through the
Galax First United Methodist Church on W. Center St. (across from the Fire Department).
It is funded by donations and staffed by volunteers.
It serves families with children (birth through middle school age)
once every four months if needed.
Each child in the family receives personal hygiene items: toothbrush, toothpaste,
body wash, a washcloth, diapers, wipes, lotion for babies, one set of clothing
(new or slightly used), underwear, shoes, socks, etc. at NO CHARGE!
Backpacks if needed and available.
It is open from 10:00-12 Noon on the 3rd Monday of each month.
TEXT OR CALL DIANNE at 276-233-7841 OR call the church office at 276-236-9937.
“But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16 (NKJV)
HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Children: Our Present – Our Future…
Some people say that children are the church of tomorrow. I say children are the church of today. Since working with our children, I have seen so many wonderful things going on with children. Whether it’s working with crafts, enjoying story time with Miss Dianne, or enjoying the fellowship meal; they are all so connected. They bring joy and happiness. They give love and encouragement. And unlike some adult, they just can’t wait to come again. 
Our Sunday evening meetings will start again in March. In the meantime we are working on an Easter Egg Hunt and Vacation Bible School. Our tentative date for VBS is June 13-17, Monday-Friday from 6:00-8:00. Want a blessing? Set aside some time to attend VBS. Even if you can’t attend every night, volunteer to help as much as you can. Use your talents and help build the church of today and the church of tomorrow.
