THIS SUNDAY'S MESSAGE 〰️
This week, we’re diving into Ephesians 2 and exploring the Holy Spirit’s vital role in shaping our community. The Spirit unites us as one body, transforming us from strangers into a family built on Christ. In a world that pulls us toward isolation, the Spirit calls us into deep relationships where we grow, encourage, and strengthen one another in faith. Join us at 8 AM or 10 AM—be sure to bring your Bible as we walk through Scripture together!

BIBLE READING PLAN - KEEP GOING STRONG!

If you haven’t joined in yet, it’s not too late! Immersing yourself in God’s Word is essential for growth as believers. Scripture reveals God’s character, offers wisdom, renews our minds, and transforms us through the Holy Spirit. This is more than just a reading plan—it’s an invitation to encounter the living God and be shaped into Christ’s image. Download the Bible App and follow along here: Bible Reading Plan.
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. Each week we will inform you of where we stand.
For the week of February 13th • Total giving was $38,499 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!
