The new "Hopeful Vision" class will begin this Lenten study on Sunday, February 27th, in Room #209, upstairs in the Education Wing. We have preordered 10 of the books. If you would like to participate in this study, please contact the church office so that we can reserve a book for you.

It could come from something that you are giving up for Lent (ie: soda, coffee, dessert). Simply put that dollar in your Lenten Offering Box or Envelope. The 2022 Lenten offering will help support the GUMC Food Bank. Whatever you give will go to meet the needs of people; every cent. Invite your whole family to participate. What a great way to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord!

Lenten Offering Boxes and Envelopes are available at the information tables in the foyers. They will be collected on Easter Sunday, April 17th, but you are also welcome to give your Lenten gift online. (Text the word "LENT" to 479-777-0968, or visit our GUMC E-Giving page, select "special gifts" and "lent.")

The Women’s Bible Study group, which meets on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. in the Family Life Center will begin studying Determined - a Study of Luke, by Heather Dixon.

The church has preordered a few books. If you would like one, the cost is $11.50 each. (Scholarships are available as needed for books.) Contact the church office or Roxanne McKinney if you would like one.

First, I must give a huge THANK YOU to those that took the time to pray about serving in the children’s ministry and take those steps to sign up to volunteer. I see a great year ahead of us and cannot wait to see what God has in store for us. If you were unable to attend last week, I have Great news! We still have a spot for you. Post-game sign ups available in FLC. If you were unable to join us last week in the FLC, you have a chance to go over to FLC after church and sign up.

Great news for those that were unable to make our last training event. Acolyte Training this week. We will meet in the Sanctuary at 1:00 and should be done by 2:00.

GUMC Kids worked hard to share God’s word and Gods love with our community for Valentine's Day. Almost 100 Valentines were handmade and delivered to places around Greenwood such as, Police Department, City Department, employees at Walgreens, nursing homes, our Library and more. Thank you for all those that jumped and board and helped spread the LOVE! (Pictures attached)

We are excited to walk through the Bible using “The Story.” Help children experience God’s great love by bringing his story to life! Based on the thirty-one chapters found in The Story for Children, engaging lessons are formatted around relatable Scripture references, memory verses, and Bible themes.

This week we will be starting the new year with Bible Boot Camp. Soldiers train and train to find themselves ready for whatever situation they find themselves in. They start out in Basic Training, where they lay the foundation for their career as soldiers. We can use God’s word to help us train so that we can live for God. This series will teach kids 8 important Bible Basics to lay the foundation for a lifetime of faith.
