We had another great night at Two4Two! Check out the pictures listed below.

They have been practicing hard and would love for you to come worship with them.
Youth Yard Sale - October 24-25
Mark your calendars for our Youth Yard Sale! It's a great way to get rid of things you are not using and maybe find a treasure or two.
We will begin accepting donations on Monday, October 20. Start cleaning out your closets, attics, basements, and garages!
Volunteers Needed: The yard sale needs help from over 100 volunteers every semester to be successful. There are lots of ways you can help out. Click here to learn more and to sign up to volunteer.
CHURCH-WIDE: INFORMATION
Love JC Snacks – If you missed the window to register for Love JC, there is still a great way you can serve! We will be collecting snacks for South Side and would welcome your donation of individually wrapped snacks that can help a hungry belly like crackers, chips, fruit snacks, or granola bars. Please double check the expiration date so the school can safely distribute them! Donations can be placed in the coat closet at our Buffalo Campus anytime over the next 2 weeks.
Grandview T-Shirts!
It is great seeing all of the "Gather, Share, Grow" t-shirts being worn!
If you wanted one and weren't able to get one, don't worry. We have a few left and have ordered more. The new order will be available soon. We are asking for a $5.00 donation to help cover the cost of the shirts. You can pay with cash or card.
If you ordered a t-shirt through our app and paid cash you may notice that there is still a balance, please disregard that.
Food Pantry
Thanks for all of the donations! In the month of August, we were able to help approximately 35 people who were in need. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
If you or someone you know is in need of food, our food pantry is open on Thursdays from 9-10am. If you would like more information, contact the church office.
ASP Work Week - Volunteers Needed
In less than a month, we will be working with ASP to help build a house for someone in our area who was affected by Hurricane Helene!
Whether you have a lifetime of experience building homes or have no experience and a willing spirit to help, you are welcome to register!
Our work week is October 13-18, working from 8am until 5pm each day. You can sign up here or in our Church Center App for any number of days that you are able to serve that week.
If you have any questions, contact Maci or Katy.

MISSIONS
Last week, Meredith outlined her staff and what their areas of responsibilities are. On our third week of looking closely at Roots, we asked Meredith to review this past year. We are sure it had victories, challenges, advances, and setbacks. We told Meredith that we wanted to appreciate the various aspects of the year in review.
Every year has its highlights and challenges, and the 2024-2025 school year was no different. In October, we went to a new venue for our Autumn “Weekend Away”, but we had fewer students than usual. It was a mix of emotions – we loved the new venue, and we were disappointed more students didn’t join in.
Each January, we host a large dinner and party to celebrate a Scottish holiday. It’s one of our biggest outreach events of the year. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled this past year because there was such a bad windstorm in Edinburgh that the entire city was shut down.
This past year, we revamped our faith-focused one-off events into a seminar series called Faith 101s. We focused on a different aspect of the Christian faith each time. It was a great way to walk alongside students who are curious and explore Christian faith alongside them. These events were a huge highlight for the year, especially Church 101 which was particularly meaningful for the students who came along.
Our End of the Year Party each May is one of the best nights of the school year! We got to commemorate another year of Roots and celebrate the folks who were graduating and saying goodbye. It was a festive evening filled with so much love and joy!
Obviously, that’s just a drop in the bucket of what happened this past year at Roots. A lot of the school year was spent doing the less glamorous aspects of ministry – team meetings, cleaning Roots, writing talks, making coffee, and spending hours and hours building relationships with students. Thanks for helping to make all the highlights possible, for being an encouragement during the harder moments, and for helping keep me going in the day-to-day work of serving university students at Roots.
Next week we will be asking Meredith about the future plans for Roots and any special financial needs there might be, and about what we can pray for.
Appeal for Financial Aid to Enoch and Lydia Nyador
High Medical Bills
As we said before, Lydia Nyador was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a severe form of brain cancer. The tumor was in the occipital lobe of the brain (the back part) which is where vision actually takes place. So her vision has been affected, as well as her memory and ability to control her extremities (arms and legs). She had surgery in Pretoria, South Africa, and is now back home. Medical bills were quite high, and though people have helped, they still owe over $20,000, and will have bills for radiation therapy and chemotherapy upcoming.
The Missions Committee has given some from its contingency fund, and we are aware of several individuals in the congregation who have donated. Please, consider supporting this wonderful couple who have done great things for the Kingdom. Donations may be mailed to:
Ghana Christian Mission
PO Box 8
Plainfield, IN 46168
Thank you for considering.

KIDS' CAMP AND CREW456
K-3rd Grade Sunday School
Our K-3rd graders have started a new unit in Sunday School: Snapshot! The kids will be journeying through the stories of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness and getting an unforgettable snapshot of God’s enduring love and faithfulness through the deserts of life. Below are discussion questions for parents to ask throughout the week:
Week 1 (9/7):
We can love God by following God's commandments. What else can we do to show God love?
Week 2 (9/14):
What are some ways you can love your neighbor as you love yourself?
Week 3 (9/21):
What is something hard you need to do? How could God's power help you?
Week 4 (9/28):
Do you remember the "ABCs" of following Jesus? What do those letters stand for?
Week 5 (10/5):
What is something great God has done for you or your family lately?
Preschool Sunday School
Our preschoolers have started their new unit: Tippy's Mouse House! This unit will focus on teaching our littles that God gives everything we need and shows us how to love. Parents can find discussion questions below:
Week 1 (8/31)
What are ways God takes care of us?
Week 2 (9/7)
If you could have one food from heaven, what would it be?
Week 3 (9/14)
Can you think of a time when God provided for you?
Week 4 (9/21)
What are some ways we can show love to God every day?
Week 5 (9/28)
What does loving others like God does look like?
Crew456 Sunday School
Our Crew456 kids have started a new unit: The Comparison Game. This series looks at how we should find our identity and standard in the life of Christ and not in others. Below, parents can find some nifty discussion questions to ask your kids throughout the week for each lesson!
Week 1:
What good things get in the way of our listening to God?
How can knowing how you best connect with God strengthen your relationship with him?
How can you adjust your schedule this week to focus more on God?
Week 2:
When do you elevate yourself over others, even if it’s just in your thoughts?
How can we ensure that we aren’t relying on ourselves for righteousness?
What are some specific ways we can put the needs of our family or friends above our own this week?
Week 3:
How does it make you feel to know that God loves you no matter what and that you can’t earn his grace?
How does it make you feel that God loves even those who don’t love him back?
How can you show others grace and mercy this week, even when you think they don’t deserve it?
Week 4:
How can you know what your calling is?
What is something that distracts you from spending time with God every day?
What is something you believe God is calling you to do but you haven’t done yet?
Sunday Morning Worship
We offer age appropriate classes for newborn-6th grade at both of our campuses each Sunday. All classes are held at the same time as our worship services.
At our Buffalo Campus, students in grades 4-6 (a.k.a. Crew456) are encouraged to attend one service and one Sunday School class on Sunday mornings. This helps your children get accustomed to engaging in worship and interacting more with the church body.
Crew456 Canopy
All 4th-6th grade students are encouraged to join us for our small group gathering, called Crew456 Canopy. We meet on Sunday evenings from 5-6:30 at our Buffalo Campus.
During our gatherings, Luke Johnson and Whitney Elliott will lead us in playing games, eating snacks, and exploring and deepening our faith by finding what the Bible has to say on questions you may have regarding God.
If you have any questions about our Crew456 Canopy, please contact Leah Short or Corri Carpenter.

Nights of Service - These are nights we focus on what it means to serve others and we go out into the community to do just that. Ways we have done this in the past is playing Bingo with residents at Pine Oaks, picking up trash downtown, or staying right at the church and doing things that need to be done. This is during regular Canopy time 5-6:30 and is available for both campuses.
How We Communicate - Our Crew456 team leaders communicate with Crew456 parents via e-mail. Emails are typically sent out for reminders of upcoming events or event changes.

CANOPIES
What is a Canopy?
In an amazing natural phenomenon called “canopy shyness,” trees in some forests grow in patterns that allow light to permeate the forest below. The whole forest can be healthy and grow together by keeping space in the canopy. This is the idea behind Canopy at Grandview.
Our Canopies are small groups who come together once a week, every other week, or once a month. Whatever your fancy, there is a Canopy group for you. Let us help you get connected into an existing Canopy or help you start a new one. For more information, contact Katy Woodward.
Canopy Groups
Here is a list of some of our current Canopy Groups. If you would like to join a canopy or get more information about our canopies, fill out our Life at Grandview Form.

They are finishing up their study on "Bad Girls of the Bible" by Liz Curtis Higgs.

GIVING
GIVING
We have many ways to give. If you have any questions, you can contact the church office or our Treasurer - Brandon Rogers.
The Church Center App:
Download from Google Play or Apple App Store. (Links at https://churchcenter.com) Click the Give menu item. You may give your gift as one-time gift, or schedule recurring gifts, using a debit/credit card or directly from your bank account via ACH (e-check). If you want to “split” a single your gift between two or more funds, you will have to give online via the Church Website. Or alternatively, you can give two separate gifts to each fund.
The Church Website:
Go to https://grandviewchristian.org/ Click the Give menu item. This takes you to the same church center software as in the app but viewed on a webpage. You can give in the same way as the app described above. And here you can split your gift between two or more funds, easily.
Available Funds for Online Electronic Giving:
Grandview Buffalo Campus - For discretional spending for our Buffalo Campus, per budget. Used where needed most.
Grandview Cityview Campus - For discretional spending for our Cityview Campus, per budget. Used where needed most.
Partnership-Fund - Separate Fund for privately and confidentially helping members and others in need.
From time to time there are special funds, such as in memorial of someone from our congregation who has passed away, or for special gifts around the holidays.
If you want to give electronically to a fund not listed above, or give electronically in memory of a someone who is not currently listed please contact the Church Treasurer, Brandon Rogers, for assistance at treasurer@grandviewchristian.org.
Optionally covering Credit Card Processing Fees:
Our credit card processing fees are low & fixed. You can elect to cover those costs when making a gift by checking a checkbox indicating you want to do so. The cost is shown next to the checkbox. This is totally optional. If you cover credit card processing, that extra amount is added to your gift. The net gift amount appears on all receipts & giving statements.
FREE Electronic ACH (e-check) Giving:
Gifts can be made in church center using your checking or savings account, also known as ACH (or e-check). This costs Grandview nothing! How? The actual processing cost of $0.30 cents per gift is covered by a donor who has pledged to cover those fees for Grandview. That makes the Church Center ACH (e-check) giving free to Grandview and you!
And if you prefer, you can also voluntarily cover those costs when making your gift by checking the box indicating you want to do so. The cost (30 cents) is shown next to the checkbox. This is totally optional.
Cash and Checks:
Cash and checks are always welcome in the offering plate/giving boxes. You can split your gift between funds with a memo field note, or with separate checks, whichever you personally prefer. All checks should be payable to “Grandview Christian Church,” not payable to any fund or any campus.
Regardless of how you give a donation receipt is automatically emailed to you when your gift is processed (even when you give via cash or checks.) You can toggle that receipt feature on and off in the app (or online). If you need any assistance with any of the above, please contact the Treasurer.
Church Center is for “Giving”. Registrations are for “Buying”:
All Church Center giving is for tax deductible gifts only. You do not receive anything tangible. However, you can still e-pay for any “non-tax-deductible” payments for events or programing, such as Two4Two, Youth trips, or other special events as part of the registration process for those events.
Bank Bill Pay or Mailing a check to the Church:
You are always welcome to mail a check to the Church. Or have you bank draft a check to mail to the church (Bill Pay). Please keep in mind that the lead time for processing your gift is longer when mailing a check.
Mail all checks to:
Grandview Christian Church
Attention: Brandon Rogers
300 University Parkway
Johnson City, TN 37604
Please do not mail cash anywhere! And please do not mail checks to the Treasurer’s home address or any other staff member’s home address.
STAFF, ELDERS, and MINISTRY LEADERS...HELPING US SERVE
New Milligan Intern
We are excited that Gran Sexton has joined our team! He will be interning with us this semester and next. This semester, he will be serving with our youth ministry.
Gran is from Smyrna, TN, and is currently a Junior at Milligan University. He is majoring in Church Leadership and double-minoring in Humanities and Biblical Languages. Gran runs Cross Country and Track and Field for Milligan, works at the Call Center, and serves as an RA. He was once president of the Bagel club, but he nobly set aside this position to have time to engage more fully in campus life. He loves meeting and talking to new people, is very outgoing, and would love to get coffee and chat sometime!
New in the Grandview Office
As our church continues to grow, so does the workload in the office. Abby Tramel has begun serving a few hours a week in the office. We also have great volunteers like Dan Lawson, Yvonne Marr, and Cynthia Scott who are in the office most weeks. If you are interested in volunteering in the office, please contact Brenda.
Abby is a senior at Milligan University studying elementary education, with minors in humanities and music. She enjoys singing and is a part of Milligan's Concert Choir, Women's Chorale, and premier acapella group, Heritage. Abby is Vice President of Milligan's Education Honor Society (KDP) and Crochet Club. She is also a campus tour guide and enjoys promoting Milligan to future Buffs! When she isn't in class, choir, or working, Abby can be found reading, crocheting, spending time with her friends and family, or at one of her favorite places: Camp ACC. Abby has grown up in the area and has been around Grandview most of her life. She enjoys volunteering in Kid's Camp at the Cityview campus and helping with the Crew456 canopy on Sunday evenings. She is excited to be able to serve more by helping out in the office!
Feel free to contact the church office at 928-7866 or office@grandviewchristian.org if you have any questions or concerns you would like to share with us. You can also reach out to our staff members directly by emailing to their first name followed by @grandviewchristian.org.
