Lex Kids is committed to
partnering with families. There is
no way we could do this without
also committing to help our
parents date! When you drop off
your children in our care, you will
receive a pre-planned date kit,
and your kids will have a great
time, too! The cost is $10/child
($25 family max) which includes
pizza. Registration is now open
in the Childrens Building Lobby.
Space is limited. All fees must be
paid at the time of registration.
Open to the community.
Lex Kids currently provides sponsorships for two children. Rose, who lives
in the Philippines is nine, and Ricardo is a ten year-old from Haiti.
Our monthly support provides:
Medical checkups, which often save lives
Nutritious food
Health and hygiene training
Educational assistance
Access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief
Mentoring to help children discover their incredible value as Gods children
Most important of all, our sponsored children will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a
life-long relationship with God.
So, this month our Lex Kids will be getting to know these two
sweet kids and investing in their lives through cards and letters
of encouragement. If you would like more information on child
sponsorship through Compassion International, please visit
their website at compassion.com.

Frontline Ministry
Needs You!
If you are interested in being
a part of the frontline ministry
at LBC please contact Mark at
mowens@lexingtonbaptist.org.
We need greeters at doors and
in our parking lots. We need
you! This is a great chance for
you to be the front door face of
LBC!
February 6, 2016 marked the conclusion of the 11th season of Upward Basketball at LBC. To
put this in perspective, a first grader who played in our inaugural season is now a junior in high
school. In fact, eight of our referees and scorekeepers are former Upward players, and some
played in the inaugural season. This year we had an impressive 235 basketball players and
cheerleaders participate. A majority of the children were from LBC, but many participants were
from other area churches. One of the most important groups, however, had no church affiliation,
and we welcomed the opportunity to introduce them to Jesus Christ.
Upward Sports Ministries is headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina and manages
leagues in 48 states and several foreign countries. In August 2015, three LBC staff members
attended the annual Upward conference in Spartanburg. A league director from Australia was in
attendance, and he won the prize for traveling the greatest distance. This is an example of how
far this ministry reaches across the world.
What makes Upward unique to other sports leagues is that it is built upon a Christian foundation
with an emphasis on developing the childs character and athletic ability. During each weekly
practice, the children are taught life lessons that are based on biblical principles.
In addition to maintaining the continuing partnership with Lexington United Methodist Church,
LBC also welcomed multiple families from Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church to our league
this year. Their Upward program had to be suspended for a year due to ongoing construction on
their campus.
LBC is blessed with great facilities, eager volunteers and thriving relationships with area churches
who devote their time to help our league succeed. In fact, there were a couple of age groups
where we had more volunteers than we needed. Several coaches continue to go above and beyond
what is expected. A few have repeatedly invested their time and resources by ministering to the
players and their families. This includes transportation to and from games and home repairs
to a widows residence. A first-time coach recently told me that he was glad he overcame his
hesitancy and signed up to lead his sons team. After thinking about his comment for a few
seconds, I told him Ive never had a coach tell me they regretted such a decision.
Registration for the 2016-2017 season will begin in September 2016.
Please consider helping with this vital ministry by becoming a coach
or a referee. It will be a rewarding experience for both you and the
children involved. Find out more at lexingtonbaptist.org/upward.

Special Thanks
We are very grateful to Paul
Kent and Linda Lovern for
their leadership in missions
for many years. Paul led a
special prayer gathering on
Sunday afternoons focused on
missions, and Linda was our
Crisis Ministry Coordinator.
They will both continue in
ministry but in other areas
that God has called them to.
Paul and Linda, thank you so
much for your leadership over
the years!
If you are interested in being
involved with Crisis Ministry,
please contact Janet Butler
in the missions office at
jbutler@lexingtonbaptist.org
or at 803.996.8836.
