Good afternoon. I hope you're making this a great week! The weather this past week has been amazing. It’s been nice to just be out and about, enjoying the longer days, sunshine and cooler nights. These are all simple blessings we can enjoy that have nothing to do with what’s going on in the world around us.

Join the GBC family tonight in a time of prayer for the youth over the summer and Oasis Camp at 7:30 pm. There will be a testimony, Scripture reading, and prayer for the needs of youth during the summer months and for Oasis.

Join us on Sunday in-person or on our livestream for Faith that Works!
This Sunday at 11am I will be continuing our series: “Faith that Works”, a look at the book of James. I will be looking at the last part of ch.4 and the idea of making plans. Can we? Does that show a lack of faith? Find out Sunday as we build together a ‘faith that works’.
In addition, we will be having a child dedication and celebration for Levi Tamminga. This will happen shortly after the service ends.

Thought for the Day: What is the fruitful Christian life? The Fruit of His Labor
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave this command to His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” and He promised, “I am always with you to the end of the age.”
We know this mandate was not only for the eleven disciples of Jesus but for every believer in Jesus. We are to GO. That means wherever God sends us and share our faith with others and the hope we have in God. If they respond by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives, they become our fruit but also in some ways our responsibility. For we are to MAKE DISCIPLES. That means we make sure they are connected to a good church, they have and are reading the Bible, that they are praying and growing in God. No, it’s not our sole responsibility but we do have a part to play. When we do this we participate as part of the fruit of God’s labor. We also don’t do it alone since Jesus also promised he would be with us every step of the way. I hope that’s an encouragement to go out and bear fruit!
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
