    MISSIONS

    Interyear Fellowship

    - Update | We are in the midst of exciting times for our friends at Interyear Fellowship! Each summer and school year, Interyear hosts young adults who devote their time to service and discernment as they pray, eat, and work at local organizations together. This summer, Grandview will host two fellows from Interyear: Molly Dines and Luke Floyd. Molly will continue in her work as the children’s minister at the Cityview Campus and Luke will serve with worship ministry at Grandview. Although they will both focus their work at the Cityview Campus this summer, you can expect to see them around at the Buffalo Campus as they are learning from lots of folks on staff. Additionally, Interyear is looking forward to a nearly full cohort of fellows in the fall! This is a landmark year and we are celebrating with Tim and the Interyear staff.

    - Prayer Requests

    o Pray for the fellows this summer, Luke and Molly. They are starting their fellowships this week. Pray that they will learn and grow in their love of God as well as their professional experience as they serve at Grandview this summer.

    o Pray for the fellows who will come in the fall. Pray for Tim and Aubren as they prepare to host, administrate, and lead a full cohort of fellows!

    - Challenge | Can you be a special welcome for Luke and Molly during their time at Grandview this summer? Can you send them a note of thanks or encouragement? Maybe take one of them to lunch or coffee? Also, keep an eye out for work days this summer where we can join in to help get the house ready to host up to 8 fellows this fall!

    South Side Mentor Program


    We have just finished up an amazing year of mentoring 3rd graders at South Side! In the picture you can see some of the wonderful and generous people who have shared their time to love these kids.

    Once a week we visited the school to eat, read, play, and talk with our students. Over the course of the year, we got to see them grow and learn and mature. We are already looking forward to seeing the same kids again next year in 4th grade!

    Through the summer, I hope that you will think about joining the crew of mentors that meet with kids or the prayer partners who support each mentorship. Our relationships with the kids were helpful and Lisa, the counselor, said that she would like to give every kid in the school a mentor. Could that be you? Contact Nathan if you have interest or questions!

    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 Patrick Prodger.

    PRAYING

    Nathan Cachiars and grandparents

    Thanks from Nathan and the Cachiaras Family
    As many have heard, on Tuesday May 9th, my Grandpa Cachiaras finally went to his rest. He died at home in the company of Grandma and three of his kids (my dad included). So often death comes as a shock and robs us of time we were hoping for or counting on. But even as we are so sad, we are filled with gratitude because his is the kind of death we have been praying for on his behalf. With nothing left unsaid, the clarity, goodness, and gentleness of his life gave way to a clear, good, and gentle death. For my whole life, I have lived in the gracious shelter of his life; by God's grace and Grandpa's faithfulness, I will continue to do so. In witnessing a life and death like his, I am drawn to live and die in that same way, as far as I am able. The last song that Dad sang for Grandpa at his bedside was Blessed Assurance. I have been moved to consider the blessed assurance of Jesus' love but also the blessed assurance of Grandpa's love and I want my life to offer and receive these same assurances. Thank you, Grandview family, for your faithful prayers as we journey onward together through the joys and sadnesses of life together. I am grateful that I'm not journeying alone. Thank you for helping to carry me on the way. Your notes, kind words, and hugs have been encouraging and a gift from God as we grieve. Obituary information is available here.

    Prayer and Care
    We have an online prayer chain to help us pray for the needs of Grandview's members, attenders, and those who are connected to them. If you are not already part of this group and would like to participate, contact the church office (call: 928-7866 or email: office@grandviewchristian.org).

    GIVING

    We are excited to share with you the following ways to give. We are no longer using Pushpay (last day was November 21). We are now using Church Center. Church Center costs less and is more convenient! If you have any questions, you can contact the church office or our Treasurer - Brandon Rogers.

    Use the Church Center App: Download from Google Play or Apple App Store. (Links at https://churchcenter.com) At bottom of screen, click the Give button. Give to your choice of funds, as one-time gifts, or schedule recurring gifts, using a debit/credit card or directly from your bank account (ACH). If you want to “split” your gift between two or more funds, you will need to Give Online or Text-To-Give (See next two items below)

    Give Online (Church Center): Go to https://grandviewchristian.churchcenter.com/giving. This is the same Church Center App but viewed online as a webpage. You can give in the same ways described above. And here you can split your gift between two or more funds, easily.

    Text-To-Give (Church Center): Text the “$” dollar amount you want to give to “84321” and you will get a reply text link to Church Center’s web page allowing you to give in the same ways described above. Give to a specific fund, or split funds in your text message. (For example, to give $40 Total by giving $10 to each online fund, you would text “$10 Buffalo $10 Cityview $10 Unreachable $10 Partnership”) You can use the “bolded” words as shown in the example for the funds, or else you will have to type the full fund names as shown below.

    Available Funds for Online Electronic Giving:
    General-Fund-Buffalo - For discretional spending for Buffalo Campus, per budget. Used where needed most.

    General-Fund-Cityview  - For discretional spending for Cityview Campus, per budget. Used where needed most.

    Unreachable-Capital-Campaign - Established to pay off Church Mortgage, launching Cityview, and other improvements.

    Partnership-Fund - Separate Fund for privately and confidentially helping members and others in need.

    If you need help with anything above, or want to give electronically to a fund not listed above, or if you want to give electronically in memory of a member who as passed away, please contact the Church Treasurer, Brandon Rogers, for assistance at treasurer@grandviewchristian.org.

    FREE Electronic ACH Giving / Covering Credit Card Costs (Optional): In the past, members asked to “voluntarily” cover credit card gift costs which was hard to do as costs were variable. Now, costs are lower & fixed, so you can easily elect to cover those costs just by checking a box when giving. Totally Optional! If you do so, the extra amount is added to your gift. The net gift amount appears on all receipts & statements.
    ***Checking account (ACH) gifts are essentially FREE to Grandview***The actual cost paid is $0.30 cents per gift (less than a postage stamp), and you can optionally cover that cost if you wish. If you do not, a donor has pledged to cover, on behalf of Grandview, all the $0.30 cent fees for any ACH gifts on Church Center. The anonymous donor wants all electronic Church Center checking account (ACH) giving to be free to both Grandview and you!

    Church Center / Deductible Giving only / Receipts: All Church Center electronic giving is for gifts only. You may pay electronically for any non-tax-deductible payments for Two4Two, Youth trips, or Children’s events, as part of the registration process for those events. A donation receipt is automatically emailed when your gift is processed (even 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.

    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.

    Important notes: When writing a check to the Capital Campaign, please write “Unreachable” or “Campaign” in the memo field. If you write “Cityview” in the memo, your gift will be allocated to the Cityview General Fund. All checks should be payable to “Grandview Christian Church,” not payable to any fund or campus. Please do not mail cash anywhere! And do not mail checks to the Treasurer’s home address or any other staff member’s home address.

    If you desire to mail a check, please mail to:

    Interyear Fellows

    Interyear Fellows
    We are excited to partner with Interyear Fellow this summer by welcoming two fellows during the months of June and July!

    Molly Dines just graduated from Milligan College with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education. During her time as a fellow, she will work closely with Leah Short and Nathan Cachiaras while helping with our Cityview Children’s Ministry. This fall, she’ll attend ETSU as a graduate student studying Speech Therapy. Molly loves hanging out with her dogs; Abby, Lizzie and Piper. Molly is excited to serve Grandview this summer, but is also looking forward to times of rest and discernment through Interyear.

    Luke Floyd finished his junior year at Milligan College this spring.  He will work closely with Brett Hyder and Nathan Cachiaras while helping with the Cityview Worship Ministry. This fall, Luke will finish his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. He loves solving problems and helping others.  Luke was born in Paraguay and can speak 3 languages! English, Spanish, and Guarani.
