Our Mission Kids had a wonderful day Saturday as they visited the Family Life Center and community garden in Conetoe.  They met LaCount and Anna Anderson, our CBF field personnel (missionaries) who work in that area.  They learned about bees, visited a BIG garden, and actually helped in the greenhouse!  We also had lunch and a worship service. … Continued

Come As You Are!

“Come as you are; it’s not just a dress code.” Greystone member Amber Sawyers shared these words with me during a recent conversation, and they have stuck with me. Now it should go without saying but I will say it anyway, I want you to join us for worship and never want what you wear … Continued
