We now have a new Children's Ministry Director!!! Her name is Laura Pena. Thhe kids call her Ms. Lolly.
She grew up at Glynlea Grace UMC and has fond memories of Sunday School class, Easter services, Christmas services and Palm Sunday Services. As a fifth grader she joined the church on a Palm Sunday.
Ms. Lolly is super excited to launch what she is calling 'Sonshine Kids Club'. It will include dramatic recreations of Bible stories, puppet ministry, chorus, drama and games. Through all of this, the children will be introduced to the love of Jesus Christ.
The children will be encouraged to be the people God created them to be. They'll also learn how to stand up for their beliefs and share God's love while having fun.
See you Sunday at 9, 10 or 11AM. Starting September 1st, you may also join the 'Sonshine Kids Club' on Wednesdays at 6:30PM.

Upward Soccer has begun at GGUMC!!!
Written by David Charlton
Upward Soccer has begun at Glynlea Grace UMC! Tonight (August 3, 2010) was the first practice. The following is Pam Reed's wonderful report.
What an awesome sight to behold! There, on what has been an empty field for so many years, tonite were 4 teams of players (about 30 children) ages 4 through 7 learning soccer and about 30 sets of parents watching their children have fun!
Tomorrow there will be 2 teams and on Thursday another 4 teams practicing. The cutest sight was watching the 4/5 year olds follow Miss Trisha through their drills and follow her around like little ducklings while Mr. Leo ran to retrieve his cones from 2 little children who kept gathering them up instead of running through them!
Parents socialized and got to know one another while some strolled down by the Pottsburg Creek and sat at the picnic tables. Parents asked if we will have concessions stands (yes, at the games), can we place garbage cans by the fields (yes as soon as we buy some and anchor them), can we get bleachers (not this year) and all asked for some shade!! We are now between 64-67 players comprising 10 teams!
Woohoo! God has surely blessed this ministry!
Pam
