GCF E-Bulletin for Friday, August 8, 2025


Shared Meal: We will have a shared meal this Sunday, August 10th. If you plan to stay for the meal, we kindly request that families bring both a main dish and a side or dessert. Couples/individuals are welcome to bring just one dish. 


Daniel Eerdmans: Dirk Eerdmans’ brother, and Mike/Lou Kuncaitis’ son-in-law, Daniel Eerdmans, passed away on Monday, August 4th. Please keep his wife, Rebecca, and their children (who have all been a part of GCF at different times over the years) in your prayers at this time. There will be a celebration of life service at GCF on Sunday, August 10th at 4:45 pm. A time of visitation will precede the service (3-4:30 pm). Here is a link to his obituary. 


Expectant Mothers: We have many families expecting children in the coming months. As a church, we like to announce births and offer a meal train for our members who would like it. If you are expecting a baby, it would be extremely helpful to have as much information as possible in advance. Please let Kim know via email at any point before the baby is born if you would like the baby’s birth announced and if you would appreciate a meal train. We can set something up in the weeks leading up to the due date. Then, once the baby arrives, we can insert the baby’s information and make adjustments to the meal train dates. For those of you to whom this doesn’t apply, keep your eyes open for those birth announcements, and let's bless these families with meals as they adjust to having a new baby at home.


Summer Reminder: As many ministries are on summer break, take a moment to reach out to those who may need extra encouragement or someone to talk to. If someone is on your heart, it might be God’s prompting to reach out to them. 


Contact Information: If you are new to GCF or your contact details have changed, please update your information by completing our contact form, accessible via this link. To be added to our e-bulletin email list, use this link.
