jump-in:  jr high youth meeting 
JUMP-IN is on the second Saturday of every month.  The goal of JUMP-IN is to be intimate with God, to bring a practical biblical perspective to everyday life, and to prepare the young saints for service.  Meetings are at GCF from 7-9 PM.  Please mark your calendar to come and join us for this great opportunity in learning how to serve God and others through your actions of giving!

ATTENTION PARENTS AND CHILDREN

For the safety of our children and adults, please do not bring or use skate boards, roller blades, balls or toys anywhere in the parking lot, sidewalks, or by the front door.  However, they may be used in the backyard of the church.  Parents, we appreciate your help in enforcing this new policy for the safety of all.

AUDIO CD/VIDEO RECORDINGS
CD/DVD’s of all services, past and present, are available free of charge. To request a CD, please see Steve Assink immediately after the service or call him at 616-681-0123. Sermons in Audio & Video format are also posted on the church website at www.gcfchurch.net usually within two days of each Sunday sermon given, so they can be heard that way too if you couldn’t be there on a given Sunday.

GCF PRAYER CHAIN MINISTRY
GCF has a Prayer Chain Ministry in which all those attending this fellowship may take advantage of.  If you would like to be added to that list to pray for others, you can send your name, phone number, and email address (if you have one) to Kathleen at prayer@gcfchurch.net or call 457-6557.  Prayerfully consider being added to this prayer chain list to see God move through the prayers of His saints!
