The Story of Christmas Storytime!
For a special Christmas storytime, Children’s Ministry Director Amanda Willoughby from Central Baptist Church will share the story of Jesus’s birth with our attendees.
We ask everyone coming to storytime that day to bring a donation of unopened diapers, wipes, or formula with them for donation to the Tender Foundation, a nonprofit that supports single moms throughout the Atlanta metro.
