HOMEOWNER RESOURCE GROUP
The Social Ministry Team is looking to form a Homeowner Resource Group. Did you know that 50% of homeowners who lose their homes to foreclosure never knew they had options available to them or never called their mortgage company? They simply let it happen to them. We’re looking for GSLC members with expertise in Real Estate, Mortgage/Banking and Law who would like to become part of a resource group that could assist people struggling with the issue of losing their homes to foreclosure. Please contact Mike Good or let Pastor Chris know of your interest in discussing.

Eehango Parish - Namibia
We continue to pray for our companion congregation in Namibia - a congregation whose strength comes from their faith in God and their support of each other. We invite you to join in recognition of their faithful witness with the Namibia Appeal. Funds will be used to supplement our mission support and to pay for the shipping costs of the Bibles that the Sunday Church School offerings are purchasing.
