THIS SUNDAY’S MESSAGE

This Sunday we are continuing in our four-week series that walks through four Old Testament narratives — not as distant religious history, but as God's own previews of the cross. This week we will be in Exodus 12:1-13. Bring your Bible and join us at 8am & 10am and hot breakfast at 9am! Watching online? We stream our 10am message live - find here! Watching after service is over? Find message here.

GOOD FRIDAY: SHOE DONATION!

We are preparing a special art installation for our Good Friday service and are looking to collect 300 pairs of shoes. If you are able to help, we are specifically looking for shoes that are:

• New or gently used
• White, cream, or another light color
• Closed-toed
The shoes will not be returned, so please only donate pairs you are comfortable leaving behind. Shoes can be dropped off in the designated collection area in the lobby, deadline for donations is March 26. Thank you for helping create a meaningful visual element for our Good Friday service.

NEW GROUP: WOMEN MENTORING WOMEN

Building a multigenerational community of women who grow in Christlikeness through intentional, biblical friendships. "Older women...teaching what is good. In this way they train the younger women." --Titus 2:2-5.

Older women are matched with younger women for a 3 month period. We will kick off a 9 month program beginning September 2026 as a source of encouragement, support, guidance and love. This is not a substitute for in-depth counseling, but an opportunity to form a relationship to encourage spiritual maturity, practical wisdom, and deeper relationships with God and others. Pairs will commit to meet in person once a month and by phone or Facetime weekly. Learn more here.

**The Trust Problem Nobody’s Talking About**

Every leader in Green Bay is dealing with it — the employee who says “yes” in the meeting and does nothing, the volunteer who’s checked out, the resident who’s stopped believing anything will change — and most of us have no idea we’re the ones who created it. On Thursday, March 19, the Love Your City leadership breakfast will tackle the trust deficit head-on: what destroys it without you realizing it, why your best initiatives keep stalling, and the one honest conversation this week that could start reversing it. Whether you lead a business, a nonprofit, a school, or a city department, you’ll leave with a clear-eyed diagnosis and three measurable steps you can take before the month is out. Learn more and get your tickets here!

good friday: even them.

Join us for Good Friday as we reflect on Jesus’ grace and mercy revealed through His death and resurrection—a love that makes space for everyone. We invite you to consider what this way of living looks like in your own life at one of our Good Friday services at 12:00pm, 1:30pm, 4:30pm, or 6:00pm. Please RSVP using the link below, as space is limited. Children’s programming for kindergarten and under will be available during the 1:30pm and 4:30pm services. **RSVP HERE.**

Easter: so be it God

If you have ever watched a judge close a court hearing, you have likely heard the words “so ordered”—a declaration that turns a ruling into enforceable reality. When Jesus hung on the cross and declared “It is finished,” He was not only physically dying; He was declaring before all creation that sin, guilt, and shame had lost their case against you. Join us this Easter as we celebrate the sacrificial act of Jesus and discover why we can finally say, “so be it, God.” We will gather for services at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am. *Children’s programming will be available during the 8:00am and 9:30am services only.*

baptisms this easter

Scripture teaches that individuals who put their trust in Christ for salvation should be baptized. Baptism signifies union with Jesus Christ, specifically in His death, burial and resurrection. It is our way of telling others we are not our own, that we have been bought with a price and that we have identified with Jesus Christ (Romans 6.1-14, Matthew 28.18-2). Your baptism is important to us and we are honored to lead you through it. Our next baptisms will take place Easter Sunday, April 5th at all services!
*There will not be impromptu baptisms for children 5th grade and under. If you have questions or have interest contact* *childrens@gbcc.me*.

WEEKLY GENEROSITY REPORT

Giving regularly is a way to express our love and trust in God's provision. It's not about the amount given, but the intention and heart behind it. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, "Let each one give thoughtfully and with purpose just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift."

As we work together to fulfill our mission in Green Bay, we want to keep you more regularly informed about our financial journey. Each week we will inform you of where we stand. For the week of March 5th • Total giving was 60,799

Thank you for your commitment and passion for our church! Your prayers and contributions truly make a difference in advancing our mission and serving our community!
