PowerKid Servolution Sunday!
April 17, 2012
Hey PowerKids!
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.
The Great Greenbrier Giveaway
April 17, 2012
The Great Greenbrier Giveaway
We believe God was generous with us when we didn’t deserve it. So we want to be generous with others to help them receive God’s love.
Did you know that generosity was one of the primary factors of the move of the Spirit in the early church? In Acts 2:45, 4:32 the church is described as giving to one another so that there was no need. In fact, this was one of the comments others made about the early church — they took care of each other AND their community.
I am sure you have something that someone else needs and we want to be used to be the solution of generosity. That’s exactly, what we want to do. So let’s look in our closets and garages. We want to bless our community right around us with our excess. A symbol of love to meet the needs in our community!
Bring as much as you can that is new or “gently used” by the church starting April 9th — from 10 to 4 — and we will get it ready for the “Great Greenbrier Giveaway” on Saturday, April 21st from 11am to 1 pm. All items will be FREE.

Global Mission Trips 2011
February 20, 2011
Here are the Global Mission Trips we are taking in 2011:
MFuge @ Greenville, SC
July 25-30
Cost: $500
Leader: Kelly Neklason
At MFuge you can roll your sleeves up and get ready to jump right into ministry…our highly tranied FUGE staffers will take care of the details and facilitate the planning for each day. You and your students will get to invest your time and energy into a variety of mission projects (choose between Children’s Ministry, Games & Rec, Social Ministry, Creative Ministry or Painting, Construction, Yardwork). During the day your students will be challenged and stretched as individuals; in the evenings, you’ll have an opportunity to build group unity over dinner, worship, fellowships and Church Group Devotions.
Special Note: There must be 1 adult for every 5 kids
The cost includes all food, transportation, and lodging.
YWAM London
August 18-28
Cost: $1600
Leader: Curtis Williams
Rich teaching and testimony, fervent intercession & worship, practical evangelism and prophetic acts using the arts…
Calling the Church to come together and reach out to the hundreds, thousands of people coming to this one place at this time.
The BONES mission camp gives you the opportunity to join with others in preparing to make an impact at the Notting Hill Carnival. Specifically designed to equip you with tools, ignite you with passion and love for God and people and give you an opportunity to reach out and be part of transforming lives.
Throughout the 10 days before the Carnival there will be dedicated times of teaching, intercession, worship, evangelism and prophetic acts using the arts all in preparation for the 2 final days of Carnival where there will be different opportunities to serve and volunteer during the Carnival itself.
We use the facilities of Notting Hill Community Church and Westbourne Grove Church. The former is the church where the majority of our YWAM base attends on a Sunday and the latter we work with throughout the year, aiding them in any community projects they need.
We have a great need for musicians, for our worship times, for on the street evangelism and in the carnival itself. Music attracts a lot of attention which is unfortunately not something we’ve been able to utilize to the fullest due to a lack of musicians so we would find many ways for those in your group to be useful.
The cost covers all the food, showers and the accommodations (sleeping bags or air mattress and bedding are required as we will be on church floors).

Hope House Children’s Home is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Most of the kids who come to Hope House Children’s Home were living below the poverty line in remote villages in the highlands of Thailand. They are either abandoned or neglected and have no access to an education. These young children in Thailand are at risk of being sold into prostitution or child labor. Hope House rescues these children from this sad fate by providing them with a place that they can call home. Currently Hope House Children’s Home educates, feeds and clothes 45 destitute children from the surrounding mountain areas.
Tourist days may include going to an elephant camp, tiger camp, temple prayer walk, handicraft villages, and visiting the mall.
