Oct 31 = HARVEST FESTIVAL: Last year on Halloween night over 1600 people packed our church gymnasium for a night of free food, games, fun and candy. There is great power when our community rubs shoulders with we who Jesus has called the "light of the world" and the "salt of the earth." This year we are expanding the event through our building and are excited to connect with hundreds and hundreds of people as we meet them where they are and help to move them to where God wants them to be!
Nov 1 - HONOR FLIGHT: This is a special free showing of the award winning and inspiring movie in the Gospel Center which honors all veterans by the example of our surviving World War II soldiers. We are using this to launch our new Solider Care ministry here at E-Free!
Nov 2 = BENEFIT DINNER FOR RILEY WESTERHUIS: Riley is an 11 year old 5th grader battling numerous forms of cancer. She recently had tumors removed from her brain and has suffered two mini strokes. She is currently undergoing rehabilitation in Grand Rapids.
Nov 3 = HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD: On this Sunday we start a new message series here at Gaylord E-Free that we care calling "How Great Is Our God" as we walk verse by verse through Psalm 139.
Nov 3 = CONCERT OF WORSHIP: On this evening we will have a special Concert of Worship. Along with amazing times of worship through singing and prayer, we will also be watching an extended video on Psalm 139 produced by the Skit Guys which is very funny but also very challenging.
Nov 6 and 13 = GET ACQUAINTED CLASS: On these two Wednesday Nights I will be teaching a class for those who are new to our church and who would like to learn more about our church and its ministries.
Nov 8-9 = CHOSEN YOUTH CONFERENCE: Around 1,000 teenagers will pack our church Gospel Center this weekend for the annual Chosen Youth Conference.
Nov 10 = HONORING VETERANS SUNDAY: On this Sunday we will have two services that are very different form each other. Our 9am service will be our regular worship and preaching service and will be the only service I will be preaching in that morning. Our 10:30 service will then be a special service to recognize and honor all veterans.
Nov 10 = ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING: This evening we will be voting as a congregation regarding the church 2014 budget; election of elders; and approving changes to our constitution
Nov 12 = GRIEVING THE HOLIDAY: This is a special program to offer support going into the holidays for those who have lost a loved one this year.
Nov 24 = INGATHERING SUNDAY: As part of our morning worship on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we will be having a special church-wide Thanksgiving Dinner after our morning services. Along with many people getting baptized, we will also be taking a special Inagthering offering that morning with the goal of receiving $100,000 to be used as seed money toward our much needed Nursery Renovation and Expansion.
Nov 25 = BOUNTIFUL HARVEST: On this evening Gaylord E-Free partners with other area churches to deliver full Thanksgiving meals to hundreds and hundreds of families in our community who are struggling financially. Along with each dinner, these families also receive the Gospel and an invitation to be part of one of our area churches.
