Kid's Kupboard

The Kid’s Kupboard is a ministry designed to ensure that at risk children from a local elementary school don’t go hungry during extended school breaks such as Fall Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas Break, Spring Break, etc.

Volunteers packed grocery sacks full of fruit and ready-to-eat nutritious food items to be provided to families selected by the school social worker. EFBC’s Kid’s Kupboard helps supplement food needs over extended school breaks.  For more information please contact Pat Murphy, Director of Preschool Ministries.

Cookbook Sales

The Women’s Ministry of Edmond’s First Baptist Church knows that food is an integral part of family life, as well as fellowship among friends. In order to share recipes that have become family favorites among our own families, we have created a collection of recipes from the entire church family to share with you and yours. The original “First Family Favorites” cookbook was published in 2002 and a supplement was added in 2006. The 2002 version of “First Family Favorites” is available for $12.00 and the cost of the 2006 supplement is $3.00. The combined set can be purchased at the Women’s Ministry Table in the Worship Center Foyer.

Ladies Night Out

Twice a year in the spring and fall, Edmond’s First Baptist Church Women’s Ministry hosts a Ladies Night Out event where we join together for a special event to enjoy special guest speakers, fun, food and fellowship.  This is a great opportunity to invite a friend and enjoy time together with other ladies!

Project Christmas Hope

Even though Christmas is a time of joy and laughter for most of us, it is a time of hopelessness and disappointment to many families who are experiencing hard times. Through Project Christmas Hope, Edmond’s First Baptist Church “adopts” families from The H.O.P.E. Center of Edmond, and any family in our church that we know needs a little extra help. Project Christmas Hope allows the entire church to anonymously share in their personal blessings by assisting in providing new clothes, toys, food and other items to these “adopted” families. Selections are easy to purchase since they are labeled by the desired item’s name (toy truck) and by the age and gender of the child. No names are used for either the recipients or the donors of the items. Each family’s “wish list” will be displayed in the Worship Center Foyer during the Christmas season.
