Weekly Highlight
chosen reveal weekend!
This weekend is reveal weekend with our Chosen Encore child sponsorship program with World Vision! In this unique program, children choose their sponsors rather than the other way around. We are looking for volunteers this weekend, June 1 to bring the reveal to life. There is a two-hour Saturday set up shift, or shifts after services Sunday. If you choose a Sunday shift, you are still able to attend service! You will get trained before service, and perform your tasks after service. If you are available to help out, please sign-up below!

GENEROSITY REPORT
〰️
GENEROSITY REPORT 〰️
We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing generosity and support! Did you know that only 5-10% of active churchgoers in the U.S. regularly tithe? At GBCC, we see giving not just as a responsibility but as a joyful opportunity to demonstrate our love and obedience to God. We truly believe we don’t give to receive; we GET to give!
In Acts 2, we see a powerful example of community generosity: “All the believers met together… and shared everything they had… praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people.” This is the spirit we strive to cultivate within our church. As we work together to fulfill our mission, we want to keep you regularly informed about our financial journey.
Currently, we are on average approximately $800 short of our weekly budget goal. Each week we will inform you of where we stand. For the week of May 22nd • Total giving was $33,681—about $4,700 below our target.
In the coming months, we are praying that God will continue to raise up new regular givers to join us in supporting the important work of the Kingdom here in Green Bay. John Wesley described money as “an excellent gift of God, answering the noblest ends.” Would you join us in praying for hearts to be opened to generosity within our community?
