If you have a child that you want to  have dedicated to the Lord this Sunday, please notify the church office as soon as possible. We will be having baby dedications on Mother’s Day at both services.

ALSO, if you are graduating from high school or college or obtaining a master’s or doctorate degree we want to honor you on June 10. Please contact us as well and let us know. 819-1070.

Remind your parents that next Sunday, April 22nd, we have the opportunity to bless the residents of Allzwell Assisted Living Center by bringing a little sunshine into their day! Allzwell is located in Chesapeake, near the intersection of Battlefield and Kempsville Road. It is filled with grandmas and grandpas who just love to see children for any reason!

We will be making special cards during the 9:00AM PowerKids Service and then will deliver the cards between our Sunday services.

We will meet in the PowerKids Room at 10:40; determine how many drivers and riders we have, and then go over to Allzwell. This is a great opportunity for your child to experience what a big difference they can make by just doing this small gesture!

Please plan to join us next Sunday. If you have any questions, please call me at 757-961-7946 or email me at sherigaughan@greenbrierchurch.com.
