DON’T MISS FMSC REGISTRATION THIS SUMMER!
Our 14th year of partnering together to bring the Feed My Starving Children Green Bay MobilePack is underway — and this year’s goal is our biggest yet: over 800,000 meals packed, the largest goal in our region! This incredible effort happens because of a generous community and collaboration between 10 local churches working together behind the scenes to make the MobilePack possible. We may even top 4,000 volunteers this year, including many local students and school groups! The FMSC newsletter is the best way to stay up to date on volunteer registration, fundraising events, and opportunities happening across all participating churches. And don’t wait too long — Wednesday night packing sessions and many other popular times often fill within hours of registration opening. Stay connected and sign up here.

neighborhood gathering july 5
On 4th of July weekend, we are doing another Neighborhood Gathering! Instead of gathering under one roof, we’re asking our GBCC church family to be the church in their neighborhoods — hosting or attending a Neighborhood Gathering right where they live. We will provide a teaching video to anchor your time together, but the real win is the conversations, connections, and relationships that happen with the people next door. We will also have conversation questions for after the message.
Learn more about neighborhood gatherings here. When you gather, snap a picture and share with us! You can tag us on Facebook or Instagram or send a picture to social@gbcc.me - we’d love to see how you gather!
Summer Passports!
Park play dates, diving in to the Bible, and joining us at church all earns kids stamps to go towards prizes to be won! Each and every child 2 years old - 5th graders can grab a Summer Passport if you haven’t already and start collecting stamps for a chance to win one of three great prizes displayed at our check in area! We can’t wait to share the summer with you all at GBCC!
Next June Park Date:
Tuesday, June 23 // Voyager Park // 3pm
CONNECT TO COMMUNITY
Join us for Connect to Community, on the first Sunday of each month. This gathering is free to attend and a great first step in getting to know GBCC. Join us from 10am–11am. Come a little early and enjoy breakfast! You’ll meet some of our pastors, elders, and staff, get a simple overview of who we are as a church, and learn how you can get involved. We’ll also answer any questions you may have. Our hope is that you’ll meet new friends, catch a clear picture of our beliefs, and discover real ways to connect.
There is no Connect to Community in July. View more dates and sign up here.
WEEKLY GENEROSITY REPORT
Giving is an expression of our gratitude and love for God and others. When we share what we have, we participate in building His kingdom and blessing those around us. As Acts 20:35 says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." At GBCC we strive to live with open hands, reflecting God's heart of generosity in all we do. As we work together to fulfill our mission in Green Bay, we want to keep you regularly informed about our financial journey. Each week we will inform you of where we stand.
For the week of June 11th - Total giving was $$28,416—about $10,000 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. Your contributions truly make a difference in advancing our mission and serving our community! As Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." When we give, we help build a community rooted in love, kindness, and selflessness, reflecting the very nature of Christ. Thank you for your commitment and passion for reflecting the nature of Christ in our church!
