eBulletin for the Week of April 4, 2024

This Sunday Pastor Tyler will be finishing up our sermon series on the book of Revelation in his sermon, “It is done” (Revelation 22:6-21). For more information on the teaching series, Revelation: Following the Way of the Lamb see here. Our gatherings are live-streamed from our webpage and at our YouTube channel (youtube.com/@GreenfieldCommunityChurch). Sermons are available from our website here; as well as through Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Audible, and Libsyn.  

On the first Sunday of the month, as a community we celebrate the Lord's Supper and also enjoy a Soup Lunch together after the service.We also provide opportunity for you to help those in need through giving to our benevolent fund. To do so, designate "benevolent" on your envelope or in the notes section when you give.

Sunday School. This week, kids aged two to grade six will dismissed from the sanctuary to their Sunday School classrooms. If your child is grade three or under they will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian at the end of our gathering. The nursery is open for the entirety of our Sunday Gatherings.

Let's continue to Pray...  

• For those grieving recent losses, including the Schmidt family who are grieving Werner's passing and the Gutowski family who are grieving the loss of Monika's father.
• For those with persistent health concerns
• For peacful resolutions to the conflicts throughout the world, particularly in Israel and Gaza. 
• For Ukraine and surrounding regions and for the many displaced families 
• For our NAB missionary of the week:  Andy & Sara Wesner, church planters in Montrose, Colorado.
