Grandparent and Me​​​​​​​ is a ministry, that had a beginning here at MBS with a former member who had a heart for reaching the elderly in nursing homes and that leadership had moved but a new face is about to come on board and revitalize this very heartwarming and very needed ministry. The elderly in nursing homes...our mentors of past, our leaders of past, generations from before...who have now found themselves in their golden years in somewhat moments of just needing a friendly smile, listening ear, and a hug. If you so feel that you might have that calling to this ministry, please contact Victoria Weir at 817-808-7445 or email her at victorialynnmorris@yahoo.com

The MBS Discovery Center is looking to hire a toddler teacher. The qualified candidate must have knowledge in Early Childhood Education and a genuine love for children 1 1/2- 2 1/2 years old. Being able to get on the floor and engage children in story-time and circle time is a must. This teacher needs to be able to do a lesson plan, which will be evaluated weekly. We are a Tuesday & Thursday private preschool and our goal is to prepare children for a positive start to preschool and beyond. It is imperative that the toddler teacher is positive, and is willing to work one on one with children to achieve this goal, and to prepare these little one’s for the next class. If you feel this is something you might be interested in please give us a call...we’d love to talk to you! 817-860-2688
