WHAT'S HAPPENING
In Kids Ministry? Upward Baseball/Softball Opening Day - Good luck to all the boys and girls playing ball this year! We are praying with you, as you not only get better playing ball, but most importantly come to know that God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you. Keep looking upward! We are cheering you all on! Opening Day for Baseball and Softball is Saturday, April 11. VBS Registration - Kids K3-5th grade can start registering for Vacation Bible School on Sunday, April 12. VBS this year is WMLT 29! Kids will learn how to become Junior Journalists in WMLT 29’s newsroom. We pray kids will open God’s Word and READ who they are. Reading God’s Word will humble us, and we pray they decide to follow Jesus all the days of their lives. After VBS, our prayer is that these new Junior Journalists will TEACH God’s Word to others and share with others who they are in God’s eyes. That is what WMLT 29 is all about: reporting who we are! Magnolia Festival - Come join the North Jefferson community at the GFBC South Campus for a special day of food, activities, and fun. The most fun thing you can do is visit the GFBC Free Kids Zone. We would love to see you! Or come serve and volunteer at the Free Kids Zone. Magnolia Festival will be Saturday, April 18!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Let's celebrate with those who will be celebrating a birthday this upcoming month! Remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

WHAT'S HAPPENING
In Our Church? Easter Weekend - GFBC offers three services during Easter Weekend for you and your family to attend. There are no lifegroups, but we do offer services for kids Preschool-3rd Grade. Service times are: Saturday, April 4 at 6p and Sunday, April 5 at 9 & 11a. Come join us, as we celebrate our Resurrected King! Red Back Hymnal - Come join us, Saturday, April 11 at 5p, for an incredible evening of songs from the Red Back Hymnal. It’s going to be a wonderful evening of worship, as we sing these timeless songs with a huge mass choir. If you want to sing in the mass choir, please come join us. We will do a sound check at 4:00 PM. VBS Donations - If you cannot be a part of VBS this Summer, you can still make a difference. Not just by praying, but also donating cookies for VBS. That’s right! We are taking Oreos and Chips Ahoy, again, for VBS this Summer. We are asking for the blue packaged cookies for us to serve the kids during VBS, so they can hear about and watch our Missions segments. Your impact and donations will make a big impact in the lives of these kids this Summer. Thank you for being a part of VBS!
A MESSAGE / DEVOTION
Stop and Focus Items Needed: Device with internet connection
Go to http://www.moillusions.com/13-hidden-facesillusion/ to see if you can find the 13 hidden faces. You had to stop and focus on the picture to find the faces. Sometimes we have to stop and focus on God to realize just how amazing He is! How can we focus on God? (Think about what He has done; look at creation to see His greatness; Read the Bible to see His characteristics that are so worthy of praise; etc.) When we focus on God, we will see His greatness. We should respond in worship and praise. What are some ways we can show how much we value God—how we can worship Him? (Say words of praise, give, serve, play instruments, sing, draw, paint, tell others about Him, etc.)
