TRUTH FREEDOM TRANSFORMATION

@greenvillefmc #EnjoyingGod

“Enjoying God” – that’s our theme for the year, but thequestion this morning is “What would it take to be an 'All-In' church?" Is enjoying God only for Christians or might it bepossible for everyone in the world to ‘enjoy God?’ What mightwe all risk in the process of making it possible for more andmore people to discover what it means to Enjoy God? We willexplore that question this morning in our third week of thisJanuary series that looks at the connection between the FMYtheme (All In – Risk) and our church theme (Enjoying God).

If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the WelcomeCenters before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings andwonderful activities. See more information inside this folder.

Please fill out the Communication Card, which you will find in your bulletin, and place it in the basket on your way out. Don’t hesitate to jot down a prayer request. Again, welcome, as weworship God for who He is and listen to what He says.
