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!
