What do you treasure?
October 6 - 27
On Sunday, October 6, we will begin a church-wide study and worship emphasis called Treasure: A Stewardship Program on Faith and Money.
Over a period of four weeks, we will look at the many ways that our treasure (time, energy, money) affects our hearts. We will consider how financial challenges in our personal lives affect our relationships with people and with God. We will see how giving helps to determine the way we feel and act. If you have stress related to money or feel there may be more that God is calling you to do with your resources, this will be a helpful study.
At the end of the four weeks, on Consecration Sunday, October 27 we will have the opportunity to make personal commitments of giving to Green Street Church for the coming year.
We look forward to an exciting month considering our treasure and God’s treasure. Here are just a few of the many activities planned:
Sunday, October 6 following worship- Prayer Walk
Friday, October 11 at 6pm – Campfire – Storytelling and S’mores! (rain date 10/12)
Monday, October 14 – October 19 - Cleaning Week! Stop by and pick a task!
Saturday, October 26, 9am – 2pm – Downsizing Retreat with Rev. Gayle Holden
Be sure to check out our Facebook Group page for daily activities. To join the group email the church office and we will email you an invitation to join the Face book Group page.

Spiritual Practice Suggestions from Rev. Kristin L. White
Prayer & Community
Whether we live in the heart of a city, a suburban neighborhood, or the rural countryside, we all live in a community. Our lives intertwine with other people and organizations. The following suggestions are ways to be spiritually connected with our communities, every day and anywhere.
Prayer Walks
Walk through your neighborhood or community with an open, prayerful heart. What celebrations and needs do you see? Who are the people you encounter? Pray for those you pass.
Community Prayer Maps
Get a map of your community. Every day, choose a place on the map - a street, a neighborhood, a home, a business, or a public place - and spend time praying for the people and activities in that location.
Community Meetings
Whenever your community has a town hall or city council meeting, devote time beforehand to pray for the meeting, for wisdom and compassion for all involved, and for the well-being of the community to be the result.
Community Service - Part I
What community service programs are in your town? Make a list and each week, choose one to be the focus of your prayers.
Community Service - Part II
Contact one of the community service programs in your town. Ask for ways you could help - collecting food for the food pantry, supplies for the shelter, etc. - and Put your prayers into action.
Disciple and Transformation
Discipleship
To learn and grow in the way of love, to be forgiven and in relationship with God, and to practice the way of love and forgiveness daily.
Transformation
When living in love, forgiveness and relationship with God completely changes the world.
Discipleship + Transformation

Green Street is a peanut-free facility.

For caring, connected people who want to brighten someone's day and deepen friendships, the Visitation Team goes out in twos and threes to visit shut-ins and those in need of companionship.

Knitted Together In Love
Green Street Prayer Squares and Prayer Shawls have been shared with visitors, sent to friends in the hospital, given out in airports, and offered to those looking for a piece of hope to hold onto. Prayer Squares and Shawls are knitted by the Prayer Shawl Ministry Team, who pray for the persons who will ultimately receive them. Squares are knitted in a rainbow of colors and each one has a cross in the middle. If you would like to receive one, or know someone who would, contact the church!
