Sunday Summers at GBF
The Children's Ministry for GBF is doing something a bit different this summer! During Community Group Hour, all children PreK-6th grade will meet in the TEAMKID/SONKID ROOM for a 12 week long study on "Jesus, the One and Only". The study is designed to help boys and girls understand the life of Jesus and what it means to them. The course will present events in Jesus' life in the context of the culture of His day as well as their importance today.
During each meeting we will play games, work puzzles, and learn Bible stories. We will use our Bibles and memorize Bible verses. We will view a video along with footage of Israel. We will learn about the culture of Jesus' day.
As a reminder, each week your child will receive a CHILD's CARD. The card will include pictures and information about the week's Bible story, information about the culture of Jesus' day, and devotional material designed for families to use together.
We will also work together as a group (leaders included) to reach a goal of memorizing verses. Each week, when your child or a leader memorizes and recites a verse, he/she will get to sign their signature on the bulletin under the appropriate verse. If as a group, we can meet a total of 100 verses recited... we will have a summer end party for everyone!!!
The study began last week...but it might be helpful to provide your child with a binder to store the CHILD CARDS in....as you will find, these are very informational tools and have some great questions for your child and you!
Have fun with it and I look forward to hearing how you are using these Bible tools at home!

GATHER---LOTE was a success!
Thanks so much to all who made today so special! I was shocked to see so many here to participate in our first GATHER meeting....but also thrilled to see such eager children and adults ready to go LOTE (love on the elderly)! Hopefully this is just the very beginning of a wonderful relationship with our more MATURED folks of GBF and the Gunter Community!
However, I do want to challenge you to talk with your children, and ask them to be willing to find that person/persons on Sunday at church that they were able to visit with...and perhaps say "Hello", exchange a hug, or even strike up a conversation about something you all talked about today! This will make these folks feel special and help them realize that we are doing more than just visiting them ONE time....that we intend on growing and learning from these sweet people!
And also take the time to pray for them a few times each week! As we learned today, many of them are sick, have medical issues or just feel lonely! God loves hearing us pray for our elders!
To our GBF kids: You all ROCK! You have amazed me with how sweet and polite you all are...and how you have taken the time to truly invest yourself into this type of service. And yes......the swimming was alot of fun too:-) Great fun to spend the afternoon together today!
Amy Crelia- Thank you so very much for allowing us to play at your pool today! I can't begin to tell you how much you are appreciated! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Our next event on the calendar is the GBF FAMILY ADVENTURE NIGHT....June 13th- 4pm-9pm. You don't want to miss this so sign up asap! Sign up sheets are on the Welcome Table and the Children's Table at the church. Or you can personally email me. Cost- $5 per person or $10 per person if you choose to eat out of the kitchen. Children 5yrs and younger are free!
Thanks again for a wonderful start to Summer 2010:-)
