The Mississippi Baptist Convention emphasis for The Baptist Children's Village Annual Offering is scheduled around Mother's Day each year.

We also appreciate their continued support and generous gifts to the ministry.
April 29, 2020 - VBS Name Tag Promo Canceled
Since so many churches remain uncertain about if or when they will have VBS, we have decided to cancel our VBS name tag promotion for this year. However, when decisions are made about VBS dates, we are happy to send a BCV representative to participate in your missions class, kick-off, commencement, etc. We are also pleased to recommend mission project ideas where kids can help kids. We thank you for all you do to point your community to Christ and we continue to pray for wisdom for all as we navigate these challenging times.
April 7, 2020 - Email Scam Alert
In every crisis there are those perpetrators of fraud who raise their heads. It seems our COVID-19 crisis is no different. Some of you may have received an email asking you to purchase gift cards for BCV staff or children through Google. This is a SCAM. Please ignore this even if it comes from someone you know. Fraudsters access names from your contact list so it looks like the request came from your friend. Simply delete the email.
