GCF E-Bulletin for Friday, June 19, 2026
Salt & Light Movie Night: Join us tonight (Friday, June 19) at 6:30 pm for a popcorn movie night. We will be showing the film “A Great Awakening”, celebrating the 250th birthday of our nation and reflecting on God’s providence throughout history.
Men's Group: The Men's Morning Group that meets at Russ' will not meet this Friday, June 26th.
Life Group Interest Survey: at Georgetown Christian Fellowship, we believe life is better together. Life groups are a place to build authentic relationships, grow in God’s Word, pray for one another, and experience the transforming power of Christ in everyday life. Whether you are new to GCF or have been here for years, life groups provide an opportunity to connect, belong, and grow in faith alongside others.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this survey as we look to expand this ministry. Your feedback will help us develop life groups that encourage spiritual growth, fellowship, prayer, and discipleship.
Church Camp is a week away!
If you show up at the GCF building next Sunday, the 28th, you will find an empty parking lot. We will be at Camp Michawana in Hastings. You are welcome and encouraged to join us there for the service, baptisms in the lake, and lunch with the church body. If you plan to join us for the service and lunch and haven’t already signed up, we kindly request that you do so at the welcome center or by emailing Kim at secretary@gcfchurch.net. It will help us to have an idea of how many people we will be feeding! If you are considering getting baptized at camp, we encourage you to speak with Calvin or Jesse beforehand.
Those who have registered should receive an email with all the necessary information by Thursday, June 24. It will include site/cabin assignments, camp info sheets/maps, the itinerary, and work assignments.
If you have signed up for camp and can no longer attend, please notify Kim as soon as possible. Most likely, you will have been assigned to help in some capacity, and we will need to fill the gap if you are unable to attend. Some of you may be scheduled for more than one spot, so please review the entire work assignment sheet and note your job(s).
New Ministries:
Paddle and Praise “Small Group”: If you are looking for an opportunity to get to know more people in the church, this may be a great option for you! We will be meeting once a month during the summer at the pickleball courts behind Central Elementary in Grandville. There is a park next to the courts, so feel free to bring your children. We will take turns playing pickleball, watching the kids, and having fellowship! This group will meet on the 22nd of June (6:30-8:30 pm), but you are welcome to come and go as needed. There is plenty of parking and a bathroom available on site. All ages are welcome.
Mom’s with Young Children: We are offering a new ministry for moms with young children this summer, led by Kim Luurtsema. Use this link for more information and to sign up for this group.
Lost and Found: Please check the lost and found table in the fellowship hall for anything that may be yours. Items left after this Sunday will be discarded/donated.
Shared Meal: We just wanted to remind everyone that we take a couple of months' break from our shared meals in the summer. Our next one will be on Sunday, August 9th.
Ministries on Break for Summer: As we enter the summer months, we would like to remind you which ministries are on break and which ones will continue throughout the summer.
Our Women’s Bible studies, Men’s Fellowship, YJAM, and Young at Heart Group will be on break until sometime in September.
The youth group will meet several times at Hager Park over the summer. June’s meetings will take place on the 3rd and 17th at the usual time (6:30-8:30 pm).
Our other ministries will continue through the summer unless otherwise noted.
Picture Directory: After receiving many requests, we decided to put together a GCF picture directory later this summer. It is going to require some work from all of you, though! We will request that each household that wants to be included submit a photo for the directory. It will need to be high-quality (most newer cell phone photos are adequate), in a horizontal (landscape) layout, and preferably “waist up” to ensure faces are clear enough to see in the directory. If you have an adult child still living at home, they can either be included in your family picture or have their own entry. Please keep this in mind over the summer, as you may be taking family pictures. We will let you know when and how to submit them. *Note from Kim: Since several people have brought it up to me, I wanted to point out that when we start this project, if you are not able to provide your own photo, I am willing to use my cellphone to get a photo of you after church on a future Sunday, but I will not be editing the pictures.
