GCF NEWSLETTER (10/31/24) 🙌

THIS SUNDAY: Reformation Sunday

This week we will be taking a break from the Sermon on the Mount. This Sunday is Reformation Sunday. So we are considering the protestant reformation and its influence on the world and culture through God's Word and Spirit.

Come worship with us this Sunday at 10:00AM.

Oct. 31 is Reformation day! A significant moment in the life of the Church of Christ. The reformation was never meant to be about division, rather bringing all of life under God's word and work. Below are a few resources to help you reflect on God’s work in 1517.
