On October 7 at 7:00 p.m. in the Gathering Room of the Ministry Center, 12 Depot Drive, we will be showing the recently released “Soul Surfer”. Just in case you haven’t heard of soul Surfer here is a brief synopsis of the plot: Soul Surfer is the inspiring true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, through her sheer determination and unwavering faith. In the wake of this life-changing event that took her arm and nearly her life, Bethany’s feisty determination and steadfast beliefs spur her toward an adventurous comeback that gives her the grit to turn her loss into a gift for others. Join your friends and neighbors for this terrific film about grit and faith.
Greenfield Church Says, “Don’t Just Go To Church, Be the Church”;
Shuts Down Sunday Service to Serve the Community
Greenfield — Greenfield Covenant Church will be canceling worship next Sunday, October 9 and the community will be glad they did. Members of GCCC are putting their faith into action by canceling their regular Sunday service at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center, 1 Verney Drive, Greenfield to practice very purposeful acts of kindness throughout their community.
Church members will be joining together in what is being called “Faith in Action Sunday” to work on several short term work projects, some of them inter-generational, and bringing together community members from both within and outside the church.
Participants will gather at the Greenfield Covenant Church’s Ministry Center at 12 Depot Drive at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday for a short session of prayer and singing; and the group will then disburse to work on the projects, which include: preparing a winter wood supply for the a Greenfield resident; moving donated wood to the Francestown town sheds so that it will be available for those in need this winter, painting gazebos at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center; and preparing care packages to send to the Covenant Church in Koyuk, Alaska. Following completion of the projects at 2:00, people will gather at the Greenfield Congregational Church’s Ministry Center, 12 Depot Drive, for a time of sharing and refreshments.
“We’re excited about how our congregation has rallied to support this special Sunday of service to our community. The people who have signed up for the various projects obviously see the value of what we are doing and want to help.” We invite everyone to join us,” says Pastor Dan Osgood of the Greenfield Covenant Church.
Plans are well underway for the 34th Annual Monadnock Crop Walk
to be held on Saturday, October 15th, starting at 8:30 AM from First Church in Old Jaffrey Center.
