What is Wee Ones?
The Wee Ones Care and Share program is sponsored by Saylorville Baptist Church in conjunction with several Des Moines area churches. The event is organized by a team of moms in an effort to improve the quality of life for women and children in our community. Proverbs 31:20 says “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy”

In 2007, the program’s first year, 61 families attended the event and three individuals trusted Christ as their savior. Fast forward to 2008. Wee Ones exploded and in all, 188 families, totaling more than 600 people, attended the event and heard the gospel. Seventeen individuals made salvation decisions and another 37 expressed interest in follow-up Bible studies.
