December at GBP
Happy Holidays all! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We enjoyed seeing you all at our Friendship Feasts and Thanksgiving Special Chapel!
In December, we concentrate on Preparing the Way for Jesus. We do this by remembering to be kind and SHINE bright with Jesus' love: Sharing, Helping others, Including everyone and using Nice words Everyday!
Our color of the month is red and our shape is the star. We'll concentrate on the following themes: advent, Christmas, outer space, Christmas traditions around the world, art and art history.
We are excited to join LUMC's children's ministry for their Christmas Pageant this year on Preschool Sunday, December 15th (more information on the pageant below). Our annual bake sale is also Sunday, December 15th after all 3 services. Our bake sale is one of our best fundraisers! Parents and staff donate baked goodies and all the profits from our sale go directly to GBP!!! 10% of all funds raised go to our Grace Grants scholarship fund! What a sweet way to pay it forward (details below).
We'll celebrate December birthdays and share our Christmas songs and bible verse during Christmas Special Chapel December 18th and 19th.
Christmas break runs Monday, December 23 - January 3rd. Classes resume Monday, January 6, 2020.
Thank you for sharing your Sunbeams with us!
Wishing you all a magical Christmas and wonderful New Year!
