A Night in Bethlehem -Coming soon!
November 20, 2009
We are in the final planning stages for what we believe will be a wonderful event for our neighbors and friends to experience. Visitors to Bethlehem will have an opportunity to speak with shepherds, register for the census, sample some bread made in the bakery, visit the Bethlehem Market Shops, and learn some behind the scenes information from some folks who were around in Bethlehem at the time of Jesus birth. The event will take place on Wednesday, December 16. 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. Bethlehem….It’s more than just a song!
PowerKids are Moving Up!
August 18, 2009
This Sunday, August 23rd, is MOVE UP SUNDAY for the PowerKids at Greenbrier Church! What that means is that our awesome kids will be moving up in their small groups at the 9:00 AM PowerKids church to match the grade level they will be entering this school year!
If you have a child who is 4 years old or entering Kindergarten this fall, they will be staying in their current small group room.
If you have a child entering 1st grade, they will be MOVING UP to the 1st and 2nd Grade Room.
If you have a child entering 2nd grade, they will stay in their current small group room with a new status as “the older kids!”
If you have a child entering 3rd grade, they will be MOVING UP to a new small group in the 3rd Grade Room.
If you have a child entering the 4th or 5th grade, they will be MOVING UP to a new small group in the 4th and 5th Grade Room.
We will have signs posted through out the PowerKids wing this Sunday to assist you in finding the right room! If you have questions, look for an adult wearing a yellow POWERKIDS shirt. We’ll be glad to assist!
We are looking forward to a year packed with fun and excitement as we learn more about the incredible Power of God! It’s available to our kids right here and now…not just when they get older…and it’s a privilege to help unveil this truth to this generation. And I almost forgot to mention…we have a blast in the process!
See you on Sunday!

Hmmmm…that’s Puzzling!
March 3, 2009
A new month and a new virtue for the PowerKids of Greenbrier Church! For the month of March…it’s all about HOPE and believing that something good can come out of something bad. We all know that things can seem pretty hopeless at times – for kids and parents alike! When things happen that we just aren’t expecting – and it can be something huge like losing a loved one to something relatively small like having a piece to a puzzle that doesn’t fit…these are the times that we need HOPE.
Last Sunday, we heard about a time when Paul really had to have HOPE and believe that whatever happened, God had a plan. We were taken through a really STORMY time with Paul…and boy, did it ever get stormy in that PowerKids Room…but Paul held on and had HOPE and some miraculous things happened because Paul continued to trust in God’s plan. Just ask your kids to tell you at least two things that happened! I bet they can!
Next Sunday promises to be just as miraculous as we’re taken back to the time of Lazarus to get a glimpse of how powerful God is. And when the kids can understand the power of God, they will know in their hearts that nothing is too hard for Him!
See you Sunday at 9:00!

Finally!! I am so excited to invite all Sunday Children’s Ministry Volunteers to the Fellowship Hall on Saturday, February 28th at 11:00 a.m. for a short meeting, followed by a time of food and fellowship!
Now that we have had a chance to experience the new services and times, I’d like to meet and discuss our ministry to the children at Greenbrier Church…what fun things we’ve experienced the past two months, what challenges we may have faced and how we can make it even more fabulous in the future! After the discussion, we’re planning a lunch of Soup and Salad and would love to have everyone stay and fellowship with each other! Please send me an email and let me know you can come! If you have a special soup or salad that you make, please let me know because I would love to include it on the menu! We have some fabulous cooks in our church, for sure!
I look forward to seeing you on the 28th! There will also be an opportunity to stay after the lunch and be part of a “Room Refresher Team” that will be making sure each of the Children’s Rooms are in top notch shape! This is also the day that we turn around the Power Kid’s Room for a brand new month of fun; so, extra hands there would be welcome, as well!
Thank you for all you do to bless and serve our fabulous kids at Greenbrier Church!

Calling all PowerKids…STEP RIGHT UP!!!
January 31, 2009
We had so much fun last month learning about RESOURCEFULNESS! Who knew how resourceful people were in the Bible times! People like Moses and Hezekiah, just to name a few…and the kids were amazingly resourceful themselves last week as they used newspaper, masking tape and file folders to make Moses costumes! The results were incredible!
Can you believe that this Sunday is the first day of February? With a new month comes a new virtue and we are so excited to unveil the surprise this Sunday morning! So, Mom’s and Dad’s, make sure your PowerKid is ready for FAIRly fabulous fun this week at Kid’s Church! We hear there’s a king who’s supposed to make an appearance in the court…hmmmm….see you there!!
