Announcement and Event Details Good Things Are Happening at Greenville Church! GOOD
THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT GREENVILLE CHURCH! Research shows most people Sunday Flowers You are invited to sponsor Sunday flowers that are placed under the cross in the sanctuary each Sunday. The sign-up schedule for 2013 is now open and posted in the narthex. The price is $35.00. Cemetary Committee Our church cemetery is located on Central Park Avenue and includes over 500 graves, some of which date back to the 1840’s. The cemetery does not have an endowment for upkeep and has been in decline for several years. Last year, a project was begun by one of our members to update the burial records, clarifying who is buried where, and determining which plots are unused. Next, volunteers are needed to trim trees, re-set stone markers and more. A cemetery committee has been established to manage our church cemetery. Do you love history? Are you curious about genealogical research? Do you like to work outside? Speak to Pastor Edward for more information. Hunger and the Feed One Program Hunger, for most of us in the United States, is not a familiar feeling. Globally, however, it is not only a challenge but also a reality of life. Each day, approximately 18,000 children die from hunger-related problems. An estimated 925 million people in the world are hungry today. Feed One is our denomination’s program to get involved, to provide help for those who most need it – children. By providing food and resources, the Reformed Church in America is engaged in supporting and feeding those living with the reality of hunger. For only $53 you can feed one child for four months. For just $80 you can feed one child for six months. And it takes just $159 to feed one child for an entire year. Please consider a gift for Feed One. Write your check to Greenville Church and all contributions will be given entirely to Feed One.in. Volunteers Needed for Coachman Family Services Let's do more! Last Christmas we provided Payless Shoe gift cards (each worth $25) for 178 children and youth in need at the Coachman Family Services. Next we will visit on a weekday after school to make crafts with some of the children. Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate. Let's make winter a little brighter for everyone! Contact Pastor Edward for more information. April 21 is Earth Sunday: During the worship service we will celebrate God's creation and consider how to be excellent caretakers of our glorious home on earth. There will be another Hike for our Churches on Saturday, May 4th, as a fund raiser for Greenville Community Church organized by Gil Erskine. Hkers from our church (please consider being one!) contribute $80 and join a group that walks a 10 mile route along the Bronx River Parkway. Non-hikers are invited to make contributions in support of the hikers. All funds raised by our hikers remain within our chuch in support of our general fund. Come to the Annual Progressive Dinner on Saturday, May 4, 2013! It is a great time of fellowship and a church event that everyone looks forward to. The church will really become your church as the people who are just a smile and a greeting on Sunday morning become real human beings with whom friendships form. Tickets are $20. Please call or email the church office to sign up.

Prayer Chain The Prayer Chain is being updated with an email list in addition to the previous telephone list. Please contact the church office if you would like to participate in the prayer chain. A new Confirmation Class began in September. At Greenville Church, conformation is a two-year program for students to explore the Christian faith through small group discussion, audio-visual media, reading the Bible, a retreat, and more. The Confirmation Class is also a chance for students to connect personally with God, each other, and the wider church. The program offers students a chance to give and receive in deeper ways than they have before. Additionally, confirmation is a centuries-old practice in the Christian tradition, whereby youth have an opportunity to learn about Christianity and make a decision for themselves. Several Committee Meetings are usually held on the last Sunday of each month at 11:15. Everyone is invited to attend a meeting, even for only one session in order to participate in the organizational life of the church. The meetings are usually held in Hessler Hall.
