Meet Lydia, our 3rd Grader!

Lydia will begin 3rd grade at Harlan Elementary this fall. She's excited to be in the first class at her school to experience !gnite, a technology-based collaborative learning environment. She'll be getting her children's Bible on Bible Sunday. And she'll be driving before we know it!

What grade are you going into? What are you excited about this year at school.

Meet Abby, our Safety Town Star!

Abby graduated from Safety Town today. She can't wait to start kindergarten at Harlan Elementary School this fall. She's also looking forward to Team KID at Greenfield Church.

Bible Sunday

We will celebrate Bible Sunday on September 17. If you are going into 3rd grade, or are older and have not received a Bible, please ask your parents to stop in to the Christian Education office and pick one up. We're asking that your families and friends write notes of encouragement inside. Remember, the Bibles need to be returned to the church prior to September 17.

STAGE Events Coming Up!

"Fully Rely On God" Mission Experience for STAGE 1 kids will be July 27 - 30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The bus for Cedar Point leaves at 6:45 a.m. and returns to church at 10 p.m. on Aug. 30.

Contact Nathan at STAGEyouth@gmail.com for more details on both events.

Teachers W(h)ine and Cheese Gathering

Our fall Sunday School teachers are asked to gather for a quick meeting after worship on August 19. Let's talk about what works and what doesn't (that's the part where it's okay to whine a little). I'd like to hear from you what you love about teaching at Greenfield Church.

Those who attend this meeting will get a sneak peek at the ideas for something new coming to the teaching ministry at our church in early 2010.

Chiming In

Three of our Greenfield kids will be playing the chimes for special music this Sunday, July 26 at our 10:00 summer worship service. Can you guess their names?

Greetings to Greenfield kids and their families:

I'm so excited to be joining you as the new Director of Christian Education at Greenfield Church. I can't wait for you to meet my family: my husband, Bob, and our daughters Lydia (3rd grader) and Abby (kindergartner).

Summer Sunday School continues through September 6. The kids attend the first part of worship with their families. They gather after the children's time for a lesson and project.

Sunday School will kick off in the fall on September 13! We'll be dividing the classes as we have in the past and using the "Walk with Me" materials.

Team Kid will begin on Thursday, September 24 at 4:30 p.m.

The Christian Education ministry team is planning a few surprises for this fall and early 2010! Check back here to be the first to know!
