As we prepare to welcome Pastor Chrissy Tatum Williamson and her family to Greystone, we ask that you enter into a season of 30 days of prayer with us. We will pray together for Pastor Chrissy, her family, and for Greystone from December 15th until her first Sunday preaching, January 13th, in order to prepare our hearts and minds to be attuned to God’s will for Greystone. The devotional guide for December 15th – 19th is below and attached. Other guides will follow.
Please also help us welcome Pastor Chrissy, Justin, and Mia with an old-fashioned “pounding,” where we stock their kitchen with cooking supplies! The link to sign up is here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0a4baba623a0f94-welcome. Please bring items to church by Sunday, December 30th so that they can be delivered to the Williamson family that afternoon. In addition to cooking supplies, you can sign up to help with moving/unpacking, delivery of goods, or to bring a gift card.Thank you!The Senior Pastor Search Committee
