    Summer Day Camp - Volunteers Needed
    Grandview has been invited to partner with First Christian Church of Johnson City this summer for a Day Camp from June 8-12. This year, it will be held at Freedom Hall for the first time! Lots of volunteers are needed to ensure that this Day Camp is a success.

    There are a variety of ways to serve during the week, including the registration team, safety team, welcome team, kids’ fun stations, and more. No matter what your gifts are, there is a place for you to serve. Please contact Leah Short if you would like to volunteer.

    Grandview's Newest Members
    Robin Branscum was baptized by Aaron on April 27. She and her husband Steve Sweeney placed their membership at Grandview this past Sunday. They attend the 9:30am worship service at our Buffalo Campus. Steve has already begun serving with our property team. Please help us welcome them into our Grandview family.

    Family Promise - Full

    Family Promise Partner Week -  Next week we have the opportunity to care for some practical needs with our JCServe Partners at Family Promise. Right now, their shelter program continues to stay full with 5 families (7 adults and 11 children right now), and they continue to see 40-50 unhoused individuals every day in their thrift store. To best serve their needs right now, they could use items like trash cans, trash bags (13 gallon size), queen-sized sheets, laundry baskets, and drinking glasses. They can also use healthy and hearty snacks for our families in the Day Center like tuna and/or chicken pouches, beanie weenies, fruit cups, pop tarts. You can drop those items by the office anytime this week and we will deliver them.

    Abby

    Cityview Children's Interim Minister
    This past Sunday, we got to share the news that Abby Tramel has stepped in as our Interim Cityview Campus Children's Minister. She's going to keep families and volunteers connected through the summer while we look for our next person to lead the ministry! She just graduated from Milligan University and is already working closely with Corri in this transition time!

     

    Corri

    New Children's Minister at our Buffalo Campus
    Corri Carpenter will begin as the full-time Children's Minister at our Buffalo Campus on June 1. This is an exciting opportunity for her to take another step into her calling to ministry. As many of you know, Corri has been the children's minister at our City Campus for about a year.

    Leah

    Children's Ministry Update
    We want to take a moment to share some news with you about the Children’s Ministry at our Buffalo Campus. After much prayer and reflection, Leah Short has decided that her time serving on our church staff has come to an end, and she will be stepping away from her role as our Buffalo Campus Children’s Minister in June.

    Leah has served on our team for more than four years, and we cannot overstate how grateful we are for her. She stepped into this role during a season when our church was transitioning from the mostly online worship days of COVID back to meeting in person. She brought with her a sense of calm, stability, and thoughtful leadership that our staff — and especially our children — truly needed. Her heart for kids and her care for families has shaped our ministry in meaningful ways, and her faithfulness has made a real difference.

    While we are sad to see Leah step away from staff leadership, we are thankful that she and her family will continue to be part of Grandview.

    Please join us in thanking Leah for the many ways she is serving our church so faithfully the next chance you get. We invite you to pray for her and her family as she steps into what God has next.

    Food Pantry (1)

    Food Pantry - THANK YOU!
    Thank you to everyone who donated items or our food pantry! During the month of April, we helped approximately 55 people. As the school year begins to come to an end, we expect to see more people in need. Your continued donations are appreciated. Especially kid friendly options.

    If you would like to donate items, please put them in the coat closet near the upper entrance at our Buffalo Campus or take them to the Life at Grandview table at our Cityview Campus. All donations are greatly appreciated!

    MISSIONS

    Picture1

    Abigail, could you please share more about the work in Mexico City?  Is it still a CMF related function?  What were some high points for you this past year?  Will you be working with the same people when you return to Mexico?  Have you been in contact with your business partners and/or friends at your church there?  

    Our ministry exists to equip entrepreneurs so they can be servant leaders in the marketplace, leading to spiritual and economic transformation. We accomplish this through providing trainings, mentorship, coaching, and community for entrepreneurs. Last year, we were able to officially register as a Mexican non-profit, which we named Emprende31. Before this, the ministry just functioned as an offshoot of CMF. Now we are still CMF missionaries, but by becoming a registered business in Mexico, many more opportunities are open for our ministry!

    One of my favorite parts of last year was serving as coordinator for one of our courses. Because of this, I got to spend more time with those students as they grew. And what a joy it was! From a couple selling healthy dog snacks, to an insurance saleswoman, to a man repurposing old medical equipment, I loved seeing how God was shaping these unique businesses to grow His Kingdom here on earth. When I return, I will be working with the same people. I’m sure a lot has changed since I’ve been gone, as our ministry is in a huge season of growth, but the team and my friends are excited to have me back on the field again.

    696155804_838446045978895_4232041743631379683_n

    Our Crew456’ers are starting a new unit this Sunday: One on One. This series examines different one-on-one encounters people had with God, because it’s impossible to be in the presence of God and not be moved or changed in some way. Parents can find discussion questions below:
    Week 1 (5/17)
    How did Moses feel about being invited into God’s plan?
    Moses felt unqualified for the task God called him to. What are some reasons we might feel unqualified to serve God?
    How can we gain courage to follow God?
    Week 2 (5/24)
    What do you think Jacob thought when he realized who he was wrestling with?
    What are ways that we may wrestle with God?
    Jacob was left humbled after this encounter. What does humility look like in our life?
    Week 3 (5/31)
    What is the meaning of “He who is without sin cast the first stone?”
    Why is it hard to forgive others when they wrong us?
    What steps can you take this week to respond to the failure of others the way Jesus responded to the woman in this passage?
    Week 4 (6/7)
    How can remembering the ways God has been with us in the past help us trust God in the present?
    Gideon trusted and worshipped God through a sacrifice. What does it look like to trust God’s promises in your life?
    How can you be honest with God this week about any doubts you may have about God?
    Week 5 (6/14)
    How can you have a deeper appreciation of God’s daily sustaining in our lives?
    How can you develop the habit of listening for the “whispers” of God in your life?
    How and when will you spend time listening for God this week?
    Week 6 (6/21)
    What are some different ways people act when they are hurting or sad?
    What are ways we can comfort other people when they are sad?
    Who is someone in your life who is hurting and needs the comfort of God? How can you give them comfort this week?
    Week 7 (6/28)
    How do you know you are born again?
    How do you know if you are working for your salvation instead of trusting Jesus to save you?
    How will your faith in Jesus affect how you live this week?
    Week 8 (7/5)
    When are times you feel as though God doesn’t see you?
    How can you take time to be with God during a busy time?
    How can you go to God the next time a difficult situation comes your way?

    Summer Dinner Groups-FINALS-HD Title Slide

    This summer we'd love to invite you to join a Summer Dinner Group. The goal of these groups is to gather with 6-10 folks from Grandview and share a meal together 3-4 times this summer. You can host a potluck at someone's home, grill out, go out to a restaurant, or even bring your own picnic to a local park. We hope that as your group shares meals together, you'll build relationships with some folks you may not have known well previously and strengthen community.

    Registration will close on Sunday, May 17, and groups will be connected before Memorial Day.  Click here to register.

    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.

    Canopy Groups
    Here is a list of some (but not all!) 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.

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.
