Dadeville Police receive teddy bears from Sunday school class

A Dadeville Police officer explains the importance of the teddy bears for a child in crisis.

The Teddy Bear Ministry has been going on for years, but this time First Baptist Church Dadeville’s Sunday school class got to play a role. 

As part of the Baptist Church Association's Woman’s Missionary Union, multiple local churches collect teddy bears from January through March. The teddy bears are then brought to the Tallapoosa Baptist Association, and the association shares the bears with first responders across the county for when they encounter a child in crisis.
