The event will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 7th-8th. Gates will open at 6PM. If you would like more information or would especially be interested in serving on the team of volunteers to pull it all together please contact Sheri Gaughan at 819-1070 or sherigaughan@greenbrierchurch.com.

See and Do Project

Hey Parents,

This month in Power Kids we are focusing on the virtue of INITIATIVE ~ SEEing what needs to be done and DOing it. On Sunday we told the kids about a project that lets them SEE a problem and DO something about it.

During our BIG GROUP time on Sunday we showed the kids pictures of children who are in need; who either had no shoes or yucky shoes…children with no coats or warm clothing. We wanted them to SEE that there is a problem right here in our community!

We have asked each child to get a shoebox from home and fill it with a new or gently-used pair of kids shoes or kid’s outerwear garment and bring it back to church by Sunday, October 24. Please make sure the item is in a shoe or boot box because we are going to use the boxes for something VERY SPECIAL on that Sunday. The kids are going to DO something about a problem that they SEE.

We will be donating all the items to a local shelter so that the children will be better equipped once the weather turns colder. Thank you so much for helping to show your child how he/she can not only learn about a big word like INITIATIVE but put it into practice for the Kingdom of God!!

Please call or email Sheri Gaughan if you have any questions.
