Checking in with you...

Fasting is a "practice". It takes time. It takes repetition. We are in this thing called "fasting" together, Church. Christ, make yourself known to us today.

Are you fasting with us on Wednesdays in January? What are you waiting for? Do you wait quietly before the Lord or do you wait in anxiety and busyness. Stop, breathe and wait quietly before the Lord. Maybe set a timer for 2-3 minutes. Breath deeply in and out saying, "I wait quietly before God...my victory comes from Him." Try this several times on Wednesday as you hunger. Jesus, be born in us in a fresh way. Amen

Mark your calendars! This is always a fun night. Questions? email Jeremy.martin@greenvillefmc.org

The GFMC Bible quiz team had a great tournament in Bedford, IN focused on Matthew 23-24. The Young Teen Vet team with Joe Lanter and Archer Wiegand placed 4th in the team rounds- even with being down a team member. They had some close matches including delivering the winning team’s only defeat of the day with a nail biter overtime win. During the tournament, Joe Lanter quizzed out a notable 4 times. This means he answered the maximum allowed of 5 questions correctly out of a round of 15 questions. Archer Wiegand placed second in the Individual young teen vet rounds. Way to go!

Yeah, it's cold outside BUT it's warm at church! Hope you can join us. We are steaming on-line at YouTube/greenvillefmc at 8:30 or 11:00 am.

Whether you join us in person, or worship online, the Spirit will be moving. :)

A group from Greenville University’s Experience Projects class is partnering with Hope Ignited to collect athletic shoes for children who are often barefoot not by choice.

You may place your donation in the marked box near the entrances to the church through Sunday, November 19.
