HOLIDAY STORE 2024

Our community has an opportunity to make a difference this holiday season by supporting families in need. The Giving Tree Holiday Store is seeking donations of gifts and gift cards to help local students. You can drop off new, unwrapped gifts at GBCC during regular business hours from November 10 to December 9. Cash donations, Target, Fleet Farm, Walmart, or Meijer gift cards are also welcome. Every contribution helps bring hope and happiness to families facing financial hardships. Together, we can make this holiday season brighter for our community's children!

GENEROSITY REPORT

〰️

GENEROSITY REPORT 〰️

At GBCC, we see giving not just as a responsibility but as a joyful opportunity to demonstrate our love and obedience to God.

In Hebrews, giving is listed as an act of worship to the Lord. In chapter 13 verses 15-16 it says, "Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Do not neglect to do good, to contribute [to the needy of the church as an expression of fellowship], for such sacrifices are always pleasing to God."

As we work together to fulfill our mission in Green Bay, we want to begin to keep you more regularly informed about our financial journey. Currently, we are on average approximately $9,000 short of our weekly budget goal. Each week we will inform you of where we stand. For the week of October 31st

• Total giving was $26,763—about $11,000 below our target.

In the coming months, we are praying that God will raise up 50 new regular givers to join us in supporting the important work of the Kingdom here in Green Bay. Your contributions truly make a difference in advancing our mission and serving our community! The evangelist Billy Graham once said, “God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.” Would you join us in praying for hands and hearts to be opened to generosity within our community?

Thank you for your commitment and passion for our church!
