Kids Programming Reopening: Right now kids are able to safely be in ballet, soccer, orchestra, school and more with the precautions we’re all getting used to. With some new safeguards, we're now able to bring them safely to church. Please visit https://Goshen.Church/KidsInChurch for guidelines/registration and instructions. 

Card Station: Connect with folks by signing a birthday/anniversary card --> Check out table in the lobby.

GEMS Post Office: We are happy to announce that the GEMS post office is open for sorting and passing out your Christmas cards to the members of our congregation. There are two boxes located in the back of church and the exit door with the combination lock. If possible, please stop by the church lobby and check your mailbox. A donation to the GEMS, in lieu of postage is gladly accepted. All cards not collected by Dec. 20th will be mailed out by the church office.

Faith Partners Program: As we approach the end of 2020 we can certainly all agree that this has been quite an unsettling year. However, we can also give testimony to God’s goodness and his guiding hand! Just over one year ago our building committee rejoiced at the completion of our wonderful new addition! We were able to expand our greeting and entrance areas, replace and relocate our service elevator indoors, expand our children’s ministry area and nursery and add new bathrooms both on our lower level and on our worship level. Praise God! In order to accomplish these goals one of our funding models has included our Faith Partners program. Faith Partners are a group of dedicated individuals who have generously committed to make an annual $1000.00 donation to our building fund over the next 11 years. If you are not yet a Faith Partner, please consider becoming one. If you are already a Faith Partner then we want to take this opportunity to both sincerely thank you and to remind you to kindly submit your pledge amount to Jeff Davis, Henry Vogel or the deacons by December 23, 2020. Please note that all donations are tax deductible. May God continue to bless us as we go forward in the use of our expanded campus and as we worship here together and strive to bring him the glory.  Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can be a faith partner and supporter of God’s vision here at Goshen Christian Reformed Church.
