TRANSITIONS! Seems as if we've made it through the adjustment to our temporary rooms. About the time we get the
kinks worked out, we'll be making our real move to the new building. Be watching for a work party date to get
us all moved in and set up!
Thanks so much for respecting the boundaries regarding the construction areas!
Thanks also for helping to curb the running inside the building! We're doing much better!!!
These are exciting times!!!
CLEAN-UP! Wednesday nights the toys are on the lawn for all to enjoy and there's a lot of fun going on out there.
Please help clean up as you leave, returning the toys to the bucket on the porch, especially if your family is one
of the last to leave. It's just good stewardship and helps to build an attitude of gratitude in our kids.

Bigsby plus a whole lot more are available for the kids to enjoy!
Summer is fun with lots to do- but don't forget, we're looking for you--------at GracePointe!!!! Polly

The Bigsby Show
From Polly:
Calling all Families with Children!
Bigsby is coming to town! This is an awesome concert that will be packed full of energy and fun all while teaching Bible stories! Please plan to come and bring neighbors and friends!
The concert will be about an hour and is totally free!
In Promiseland, we talk about how we are all part of God's story and that He has a plan for our lives. Bigsby is a living example of this and here is an opportunity to tell your kids Bigsby's story!
When he was a teenager, he got involved in a puppet ministry. He began to write scripts for puppet shows and soon began to add songs- his true passion and gift!
As time went on, the puppets went to the side and music took center stage. He loves sharing God's word with children of all ages through his music! He has been all over the country and is a regular at Children's Ministry conferences. It's GracePointe's pleasure to bring him here!
His stage presence is magnetic, the kids just begin moving to the edge of the stage without even realizing it. I have never witnessed anything like it- It was a preschool mosh pit!!!!!
Bigsby will stay in the foyer following the show to talk to the kids, sign autographs, sell music and other stuff. He really will be here to touch as many kids as he can and make serving God very COOL! Check it out for yourself- www.thebigsbyshow.com.
We have sent fliers out several places around town and I am currently working on getting an article in the Advertiser. WE NEED OUR FAMILIES to help welcome our guests!!!!
We'll do door prizes and I hope to provide snacks- I hope to have all the 'worker" roles filled by folks who do not have kids so you can totally enjoy an evening as a family and focus on our guest families.
Ask your kids what a FUGGLE is!!!!!
This is going to be GREAT!!!!
See you Friday (and Wednesday, of course!)
For Kids and Kingdom,
Polly

Basketball!
From Chad:
With Betsy and the boys out of town for the next week, I’m bach’ing it.
So, that makes a perfect time to host a guy’s night out this Saturday evening to watch the Duke/Carolina b-ball in Hi Def.
The game starts at 8pm central time so that gives everyone plenty of time to put the kiddies to bed, stop by the store to p/u their favorite b-ball game necessities, and head on over around 7.30pm-ish.
If you can make it, just email me so I can get a count. I’m thinking just snacks and drinks since it will already be after dinner.

Promiseland Praise
I have volunteered to be the Promiseland Praise leader, and I'm looking for suggestions from you all for any praise songs that you would recommend we use. I have some that I want to try that we used at Woodmont Hills, but I know you all have different experiences that might provide us with some great praise choices for our kids.
I'll be starting the first Sunday in April, and I hope to use some of the tweens as a praise team. The plan is for me to lead praise/worship for about 10 minutes, and then the Promiseland team of the month will pick up after I'm finished. I'll probably start out with mostly songs that the kids are familiar with, and try to introduce a new song every couple of weeks. So, if there's something you've been dying for our kids to learn, send it my way and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks,
Susan

Ladies' Bible Study
There will be a kick-off meeting for a new Ladies' Bible Study on Wednesday, March 5 at 9:30 AM in the church adult library. It will be a brunch meeting, so bring a brunch item and come join us. I'm planning an icebreaker to help us get to know each other a little better. Feel free to bring your kids; we're going to discuss child care options as well. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Susan
