SMAK Kids Program 2009
This has been an awesome week at SMAK (Summer Music and Activities for Kids)! Our theme this year was GPS (God's Plan of Salvation). We studied about King Josiah, the ten commandments, the sin of greed and what an idol is, and of course, the gift of salvation and what that means to US!!!
The kids also participated in many special activities.........movie day, missional talk, bouncehouse watersliding, a visit from a critter woman, and even performed their very own talent show! On that note, I must say....we have some very "rare" talented kids in our community.
Many thanks to the adult and youth leaders who have volunteered their time and efforts. I have been amazed at how many helpful people have come to help out with this event! The kids have loved every minute of it!
I also want to thank anyone and everyone for the lunch donations, as well!
The GPS-SMAK Musical Presentation will be held Friday evening at 6:30pm in the GBF sanctuary. Please step into the children's hall to view our little homemade town of Gunter, as well!!!

Lake Fun with Family Field Trip!
This Texas heat is brutal!! However, the lake was a perfect way to spend the day.
A handful of families and several adorable kids made our way out to Lake Ray Roberts on Monday afternoon. We swam a lot, we made several small beach lakes in the sand (some even had there own "moats"), and even did some catfishing. It was an awesome time to be together!
Here are two pictures to share......... One of Gabe Turner with a cherry juice mouth playing a trick on his mom. He was pretending that he fell and busted his lip open! HAHA! The other picture is of the boys building miniature lakes in the sand.
A group photo will be posted soon, as that picture was on a different camera!
