Sunday, June 7th Recap

I hope you are all off to a great week in the Lord. I wanted to give you a recap from our time together this past week.

Our time on Sunday was spent talking about 3 things about elders:
1. Elders in New Testament churches are biblical:
• Elders in Ephesus Acts 20:17
• Elders in all the churches that Paul founded Acts 14:23.
• Elders in the church at Jerusalem Acts 15:2
• Elders in all the churches of Crete Titus 1:5
• Elders in all the Churches of the dispersion of the Roman Empire James 1:1; 5:14
• Elders in all the churches in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia 1 Peter 1:1; 5:1
2. What elders do: LEAD, FEED, and PROTECT
• Acts 20:28-31
• 1 Peter 5:1-5
3. Who elders are. (their qualifications)
• 1 Timothy 3:1-7
• Titus 1: 5-9
In closing we looked at the following definition for elders:
Elders: “are the doctrinal guardians of the flock and the overseers of the life of the church responsible to God for the feeding and care and ministry of the people”
-John Piper

GATHER Meetings for Children's Ministry

GATHER will begin meeting this next Wednesday immediately following S.A.M. Club. We will meet every Wednesday up until July 15th from 11am-12:30pm.

This will be an informal time to "gather" our children for fun, games, and devotional times. A light lunch will be served, as well!

It is recommended that only school-aged children attend as older children will be grouped in with us as well.. This will help ensure safety among game time and such!


We are needing much help with the following.........
1) Volunteers to donate and prepare light lunches for approximately 50 children (hot dogs, nachos, sandwiches, etc...). GBF will provide paper goods and lemonade.
2) Adult and Youth Volunteers to help maintain a safe but yet fun environment and to help assist Mandy in leading games and activities (this does not have to be an EVERY WEDNESDAY COMMITMENT).
3) Prayer for a continuous growth of friendship and spiritual knowledge for the children and leaders involved.

If you are interested in helping please contact Mandy Turner at mandy@thegbf.com or at 972-837-6166.

Sign Up Sheets for lunches will be in the kiosk area on Sunday, as well!!!!
