"The Mission" Challenge

Our Wednesday night programs, TeamKID and IMPACT 56, are having a challenge to see which group can raise the most money for our mission this year.....which will support "The Mission of Gunter". The money raised will help support this nonprofit organization in many areas. Some of the programs that The Mission of Gunter provides, you may already be familiar with: The Clothes Closet, The Food Pantry, The Mission Table, etc...

Not only will the children be involved with THE MISSION by raising money, but also by actively participating in THE MISSION, as well (just as Jesus would do)!!! This week, IMPACT 56 will be visiting and assisting in the clothes closet by cleaning, hanging clothes on hangers, and organizing. TeamKID will be making cards to hand out to the folks that receive meals from The Mission Table, as well!!! In the months to come, we hope to help organize the food pantry, sort and organize canned goods and clothes that are being donated, and hopefully engaging in assisting in Community Meals, too!!

What an awesome teaching opportunity this is for our children of GBF. I hope that you will begin to pray about our involvement with THE MISSION this year!!! I know God will change and mature hearts in the lives of our children this next year!!!

Community Fall Festival on Halloween

Bring your friends and neighbors to the Community Fall Festival (hosted by GBF and FBC Gunter) on Halloween evening from 4-6pm at the High School Parking Lots!

There will be free refreshments, carnival type booths, plenty of candy, and fun for everyone!

We need several volunteers and donations to help make this event successful.....
1) We ask that each EKG group host at least ONE booth with prizes and working volunteers.
2) Water Bottle Donations(approximately 150 from each adult EKG group would be IDEAL).
3) A few men to help cook hot dogs on the grounds.... GBF will provide hot dogs and buns
4) Candy donations
5) A truck, a trailer, and a willing adult to provide a hayride up and down Tiger Lane.

**The Children's Ministry Team will provide a face painting booth!!

With your help, we can reach our community for Christ on this night! How awesome will it be to see fellow believers in this crowd engaging in conversation with those who may not know Christ!!!

I am looking forward to working with you!

Sincerely,
Mandy

Part-Time SUNDAY EKG Teacher Needed


Are you interested or know someone who is interested in teaching a small group on Sundays, alternating every other week. Our SONKID's EKG class is in need of a part-time small group leader for the first-third grade girls. Very little preparation is needed to take on this responsibility. However, we ask that you read over the lesson and pray each week for your students that are in small groups!

Other responsibilities: Small group leaders will discuss the Bible lesson with the girls and will aid in other activities that include art, service projects, games, and/or music activities!

Contact Mandy Turner for more information!
