All the girls at Lindsay Home enjoyed a week of Vacation Bible School at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. The theme this year was western inspired and they had a great time making cowboy hats, bandanas, pages for the group home scrap books, and taking old fashioned western photos. The lessons during the week centered on God’s love and provision for us as his children and all the ladies enjoyed the learning, fellowship, and fun atmosphere. On commencement night, they had a great dance to perform for the audience and enjoyed sharing it with friends and family.

Joy Cove residents and staff visited Pigeon Forge, TN for a week. Everyone had a great time and it was a summer vacation we won’t forget! Thank you to all those who bought raffle tickets, got your cars washed, bought baked goods and yard sale items, and donated food, yard sale items, and raffle prizes to help us raise money for this trip. It was definitely worth the hard work.
The ladies at Lindsay Home enjoyed a huge celebration of Baptist Children’s Homes of NC’s 125th anniversary on June 15th. All residents and staff from across NC gathered at our main campus in Thomasville for a day a fun and fellowship. There was great music, food, lots of laughter and worship as North Carolina’s largest family spent the day together celebrating. The ladies especially liked the dunking booth where they were able to dunk BCH management staff, but also the enormous slides and great music. Seen here is the Joy Cove “family photo” .
Family Gathering was established in 2000 by Dr. Blackwell and comes around only every five years. This day brings together every staff member, child, and resident from across all of BCH’s areas and services in North Carolina. When you put all those folks together, you get one of the largest “families” in the state! This year, DDM was very involved in various games and activities. The favorite hit (no pun intended) was the dunking booth. Our residents loved dunking the staff members of BCH. They had no mercy! The smiles on their faces were indescribable. Our DDM staff and residents also enjoyed the large, bouncy inflatables, McDonald’s burgers, looking for their tapestry squares, and listening to great music and testimony under “God’s beautiful canopy”. The day continued with a parade, praise and worship at the church, and a historical skit by Professor Q and his funny assistant, Beeker. The day ended with us capturing our first DDM group photo ever made, and many hugs were exchanged before departing from each other. It was simply a great day for all of BCH!
