Eager to Serve

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. 1 Peter 5:2-3

Are you eager to serve?

If so, consider serving the children and families of Grace Point by volunteering in the nursery.

ROUND UP 2008

It's Round Up time again folks. Sunday August 17th. We'll have KidStuf at 9:00, Worship at 10:00, and at 6:00 we'll have a bar-b-q, live music, a petting zoo, pony rides, and more. It's going to be a whole lot of fun so put your western gear on and get ready for a foot stomping, ho down having, worship jamboree.

Yeah Dog!

Some of our Grace Point kids (and adults) got to hang out with Smokey, the Tennessee Volunteers mascot, on Tuesday. Everybody had a blast and Smokey was one cool hound. A big thank you goes out to Michael Durham who set this up since he is close friends with Smokey (I think they use the same groomer). And thank you Smokey.

maybe its a little crazy

KIDSTUF 2008/2009 will be kicking back up on August 17th with our new theme

I BELIEVE IN JESUS!

Some people might think it sounds crazy, but when you know Jesus like we do, it would be crazy to not believe in him. We're going to love Jesus out loud and we're not going to care what people say. The 2008/2009 KidStuf is all about showing our love for Jesus even when others think we are crazy for it. We want the world to know that we believe in Jesus because he's real, he died for everyone, and he lives today.

It's going...going...

KidStuf is GONE for the month of July but we will be back at full steam on August 17th. If you are interested in singing, dancing, acting, or helping with the KidStuf production in other ways then let Tony know.

Current Children's Ministry/Nursery Needs

I am currently looking for 15 people to work at the 3 Nursery Check-in Desks. Each of these volunteers will serve from 9:45 until 10:15 one Sunday Morning a Month.

We are in need of several good nursery volunteers for Sunday Mornings & Wednesday Evenings.

We are in need of several good volunteers for KidsCHURCH on Sunday Mornings.

VBS

The Jerusalem Marketplace VBS went very well last week thanks to everyone who took time to contribute to this unique experience. We have had several compliments from children and parents alike, but the true reason to count this VBS a success is the 28 children who made that all important decision to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
