We are excited to tell you about a wonderful music class that is going to be available to families at First Baptist starting this fall. “God’s Children Sing” is an amazing curriculum created by Musikgarten that helps foster the development of toddler and preschoolers while also developing foundational musical abilities. It is designed for a parent or caregiver to come with a child to each class. They will sing, chant, dance, listen, play musical instruments like rhythm sticks, jingles, and drums, all while learning important spiritual truths within an environment especially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. It is a joyful and fun time for parents and kids to spend together. 

The classes, led by Mark Hussung, start on October 14th, and last for half an hour. They are for toddlers and preschoolers who are 18 months to 5 years old as of 8/15/26 and their parents and caretakers. We invite you to preview the group with your child(ren) on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 5:30pm in the FLC Game Room (across from the Welcome Desk and the Snack Room). The classes will be free, but Mark requests that you purchase the family at-home materials for $20 for the first 10-week term. Class size is limited, and spots will be offered to parents from the FBC Nursery School starting October 1. So please register early to ensure that you get a spot. You can register on the website at fbcmaryville.org/gods-children-sing.
