eBulletin for the Week of May 2, 2024

This Sunday Pastor Tyler begins a new teaching series, "A Generous Life." The first sermon is called, "A Generous God." 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 PodcastSpotifyAmazon 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. Kids will be dismissed about 30 minutes into our gathering. This week, kids aged two to grade six will be in their regular 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 Ann Dyck and her family as they grieve Rudy's passing (Rudy's Celebration of Life is this Saturday at 2pm in Calgary. For more information and the livestream link go here
  • For those grieving recent losses
  • For those with persistent health concerns
  • For peaceful 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: Drew & Carissa Steinhart of Heartland Community Church – Williams Campus in Medina, Ohio
