Kids Ministering At Worship Today


The kids did a great job ministering at worship service today. Thanks to Josh for reading the Word, Meghann and Ashley for greeting, and Noemily and Orlando for helping with the offering.


Meghann, Noemily, Ashley and Orlando also shared some of the songs that they learned at Spruce Lake this week. It was fun watching a conga line wind its way through the sanctuary on a Sunday morning!! You don't see that every day!


Remember, next Saturday is the car wash. See ya there!

Car Wash


The kids will be having a car wash on Saturday, July 5, from 10am to 2pm. We have been blessed with permission to use the parking lot at PepBoys, 513 Boston Ave in Bridgeport for this event.


We are using this a fundraiser mainly for the trip to Six Flags, as the cost of a trip like that is too much for some of the families. Hopefully, with a high-profile area like that, we can raise enough to cover everyone! We can use all the help we can get, so come on down. Or just come and get you car washed!

Updates

The campers will be coming back Friday, June 27. There will still be cell group that night, but there will not be on July 4. Friday, we will be working on something to do for Sunday's service.

You will notice to the right that I have set up a calendar and linked it to this blog. These will be events that relate to the Children's Network directly. Check the church calendar for things that relate to the congregation as a whole.

In fact, I hope you notices that the who blog has changed format. I think this one is a little easier on the eye!

Spruce Lake details

We will be leaving at about 12 on Sunday right from Gospel Light, so be sure that you have all your stuff. I will be there all morning, so you can come before service and put your stuff in the car. We will probably stop to eat, so bring some $$ plus a couple of bucks for gas.

I wil hand out checklists on Friday night. You can also download one here. Be sure you have your medical forms. You can't stay up there without it.

Any questions? Call me or email me.

Pastor Mike

The Kids are Takin' it to the Streets





The kids did a great job ministering at the GLCC Street meeting Friday night. Not only did they get up and minister with song, doing Friend of God, but they were also sharing with other children who were there, and were setting a great example for all those around! It's great to see what a motivated, Jesus-loving kid can do! Way to go!




Read about the street meeting here.

Street Meeting

Do not forget that we have the street meeting this Friday. Pastor Miller is looking for people to help with spreading the news on Friday afternoon. Everyone is meeting at 5:30 at the church to go out into the neighborhood in teams and invite. So if you can be there, that's great! It really makes an impression with people when they see children on fire for God. See you there!

Great Job from the 9 and Under Group


Sister Anita's cell did a great job at the church anniversary celebration! Thanks to all of you for working so hard at your special song! I'm sure Bishop Henry and Sister Millie were as blessed as the rest of us were! Click on the picture for a better view!

We're looking at July 12th for the trip to Six Flags New England. We need commitments as soon as possible. We need 30 people to go to qualify for the group plan. I'll be talking to you all this weekend about it.

Narnia! Finally!


We finally got it together and went to see The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian. The kids had a great time, and there were several guests invited who joined us. You can read a review of the film here. It was fun to get out and do something like this. Next up: Six Flags!
Don't forget, there will be no cell on June 13. Come to the street meeting at Capitol and Madison in Bridgeport, 7pm.

Narnia Final Plans

The show is at 3:15 on Saturday at Trumbull Bowtie. We will get the $5.5o price as long as we have 20 ppl, so invite!! Otherwise it will be the normal matinee price.

Please meet Jill at the theater if possible by 3pm. I will be at the church by 3 if anyone needs a ride there, but I will leave at 3 sharp, so be there, because I have to get the tix.

Looks like the 12:10 show at the Bowtie in Trumbull, $5.50 per person if we can get 20 ppl. I will be trying to call everyone and get a head count, or you can comment here, or email me.

I'm not spam!

I guess the Powers that Be at Blogger have finally overrled the Googlebots and put us back on the map. Yippee! I have no idea what happened, but I'm glad it's over.

Anyway, I'm still finalizing details of the Narnia movie, but it's looking like 1pm-ish at the Trumbull Bowtie, who is willig to give us a group rate. More later...

Narnia movie date moved

We were unfortunately unable to get tickets for the Friday night special showing of Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. We are looking to go Saturday, June 7, around 1pm. They have not announced Saturday's schedule yet. This will be a matinee price, which I think is $6.50, unless we can get a group rate. Jill and I are working on that.

We will be meeting at the parsonage before the movie, so that everyone can get a ride if needed. Stay tuned for more info.
