STOW — The Rev. Doug Forbes will deliver a special children’s message at the Stow Baptist Church at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 11.

After the message, each child will receive a colorful new 3-D Bible memory toy. The toy can share the message of God’s love with the children for years to come. The toy can speak to the children, act out a story and interact with the kids through electronic devices such as a smartphone or tablet.

He conducts teacher training workshops at Christian education conventions, Christian bookstores, churches and camps.
