"UNDIE SUNDAY"
You're not going to believe this! 
September 20 is "UNDIE SUNDAY." We'll be collecting donations of diapers, new underwear and socks to be distributed by Orchards Childrens Services to local foster families. The undies and socks can be any size, toddler to adult. We'll also be happy to take donations of diapers of any size and brand.
More information about this great agency can be found on their website: http://www.orchards.org/. The Christian Education ministy leadership team and Mission Committee are promoting this project.

Stuff to Save
Two things we'll be needing this fall/winter are LEGOS and empty cereal boxes. They can be dropped off to Rev. Cindy. Just remember, they be used for BIBLE BLAST activities and cannot be returned to you.
To Infinity .... and Beyond!
Something new and out-of-this-world is coming to Greenfield! Kids in kindergarten through fifth grade are invited to experience the BIBLE BLAST, a new way of doing Sunday School.
BIBLE BLAST stands for Bible Learning Adventure Stations. You'll have the chance to experience a new Bible story each month in a variety of ways: art, science, music, puppetry, storytelling, video, and movies. Adults will make a one-month commitment and all teaching materials will be provided. One adult "Galactic Guide" will stay with each age group throughout the year to be a consistent presence, count kids, celebrate birthdays, and ask for joys and concerns at the end of the gathering.
Kids will be divided into 3 age groups: K/1, 2nd/3rd and 4th/5 th grades. Groups will learn at one of the above stations each week. Our first rotation, "Adam and Eve: Named and Claimed by God," will begin on September 13. There will be a family take-home page that describes our Bible story, learning objective, and family discussion-starters.
Preschool children, ages 3 and 4, and tweens, grades 6 - 8, will stay in a traditional Sunday School class. Our middle-school youth will be invited to help occasionally in BIBLE BLAST and do special faith in action mission projects. All age groups will be in the 11:00 a.m. worship service with their families and go to their learning location after the children's time.
Publicity about BIBLE BLAST will available on the church website prior to September 13. Watch for it, and prepared to blast off into the glorious galaxy of God's good news!
