Rain Delay for Family Day

Due to the morning storm that has rolled in! We will attempt to delay our meeting time to 11:15am and will leave at 11:30am. If at that I point it looks like it will still rain, we will postpone :(

Keep checking back with the blog for an update!

Father's Day Video by GBF Kids

Here is a video that some of the GBF children help make for Father's Day. I hope all the father's enjoyed their special day!

** I apologize for anyone that did not make the video as we had recorded several kids that the mic MUTED them completely and we lost their footage :(

A Great Day at Frank Buck Zoo

Today we took 12 kids to Frank Buck Zoo. It was an absolute great day all the way around!! Despite the heat, God was good to provide shade and a good breeze which made it very comfortable for all of us! We spent about an hour and a half at the zoo looking at all the animals (big tortoises, feeding giraffes, and listening to a bird say hello) and enjoying each other's company!

The second half of the day we enjoyed at the park.... The kids played hide-n-seek, made up some funny dance routines, and even had a nice train ride!!!! We also had a pleasant picnic under some nice shaded trees!

We ended our day with a swim at the Scales' house......Thanks so much for having us!

We have some great kids and they all acted and treated each other very well!!! What a great and awesome day this was!

I am looking forward to more fun on Family Field Trip Days. Our next outing will be June 29th at Denton Water Works!!!!

Camp KID JAM.... LAST PAYMENT IS DUE!

Don't forget that your last payment is due this Sunday!

Leaders: Please send Mandy Turner you birthdays and shirt sizes asap! Also, check your email, as there is important info regarding camp that you will need to get familiar with.

Parents: Next Sunday I will have a booth in the Hospitality Area that will have important information you will need for your camper/campers.....what to bring, CD of music being introduced, blank notecards for you to write your child a letter while he/she is away, etc....

There are still slots opened for the camp but time is limited. If you are interested in sending your child to camp, you will need to register very soon!

GATHER Meetings: Volunteers Always Helpful

GATHER will begin meeting this next Wednesday immediately following S.A.M. Club. We will meet every Wednesday up until July 15th from 11am-12:30pm.

This will be an informal time to "gather" our children for fun, games, and devotional times. A light lunch will be served, as well!

It is recommended that only school-aged children attend as older children will be grouped in with us as well.. This will help ensure safety among game time and such!


We are needing much help with the following.........
1) Volunteers to donate and prepare light lunches for approximately 50 children (hot dogs, nachos, sandwiches, etc...). GBF will provide paper goods and lemonade.
2) Adult and Youth Volunteers to help maintain a safe but yet fun environment and to help assist Mandy in leading games and activities (this does not have to be an EVERY WEDNESDAY COMMITMENT).
3) Prayer for a continuous growth of friendship and spiritual knowledge for the children and leaders involved.

If you are interested in helping please contact Mandy Turner at mandy@thegbf.com or at 972-837-6166.

Sign Up Sheets for lunches will be in the kiosk area on Sunday, as well!!!!
