Greenfield Hill Church believes in reaching out … and reaching in … sharing our gifts and compassion with a world in need … and sharing our gifts of love and service to our church family, too. There are many ways to serve! Scroll down for ways to be involved … or contact any church staff member to talk about the gifts you wish to offer.
CHURCH LIFE
Compassion Group: Our newest outreach program the Compassion Group's aim is to provide a helping hand and loving outreach to members of our own church community, as well as occasional projects for the community at large.
There are two ways church members can help us out! First - you can let us know of anyone in our church family that you think needs a little 'TLC' ... a card, a meal, a visit.
And secondly, we welcome you to be part of the Compassion Group, too! Whatever your time and gifts, we will work with it. To get involved, contact Jennifer Marcus or Brenda Steele.

Ushering:Like People? Like Church? Be an Usher! Ushering is a great way to get to know people - and a very important part of our Sunday morning worship. We have a continuing need for women and men to usher - both on a seven week rotating schedule and as substitutes for both Sunday worship services ... if you could lend a hand, please drop an e-mail to David or Kathy Banks, our Ushers Chairpersons. Current ushers: click here to view Usher Schedule.
