Watoto FREE Concert This Wednesday Evening!

Since 1994 Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured internationally spreading a message of hope for Africa’s children. The choir represents Watoto’s vision and mission through their music and dance. The children are among the 1.8 million boys and girls in Uganda who have had the tragic experience of losing one or both of their parents to AIDS or war. The purpose of Watoto is to provide spiritual, physical, educational and emotional care for every child so that each one will become a responsible Christian and productive citizen of Uganda.

Join us Wednesday night at 6:30pm for an inspiring performance by the Watoto Children’s Choir. The concert will prove to be colorful and lively demonstration of the life-changing love of God experienced by the children of Watoto.

The concert is free. A love offering will be collected.

Mission Project: Family2Family Boxes

FAMILY 2 FAMILY BOXES: Do you want to help out with the Family 2 Family Mission Trip to New Mexico but can’t attend???? We have a way for you and your family to actively participate from here at home!

As most of you are aware we will be sending some of our very own GBF families on a mission trip to the Navajo Reservation the weekend prior to Thanksgiving.

Therefore, we only thought it appropriate to assist with the Mission Trip by asking families to help by gathering shoeboxes, or storage boxes similar in size. Much like Operation Christmas Child, we ask that you stuff each box with necessities that would be useful to the people of the New Mexico Reservation.

Such items would include: gloves, socks, toboggans, toothbrush, brush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, etc.

Our goal is to send at least 25 boxes. If you would like to participate but do not have the funds to fill a full box, the Children’s Hall will have a few boxes that you can slowly fill with a few items at a time!

Boxes may be stacked in front of the kitchen on the children’s hall or at the church office from 9am-2pm (Monday-Thursday). The last day to donate will be November 19^th.

This is a great opportunity to help give this season and a great way to support our GBF missionaries!!
