Reunion Group Survey

 

In order to better serve our GNVDC community, we are asking for your help with trying to collect information on existing GNVDC reunion groups. If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes and fill out the survey on reunion groups below. There are only 10 questions and should only take a few minutes.

 

TAKE SURVEY 

 

 

Thank you for your participation in this survey. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help us to better assist those looking for reunion groups.

With spring weekends quickly approaching have you been thinking about who could benefit from attending one of these weekends? Start with prayer and then look around your environment. Who is on your heart? Step out and invite that someone.

WANTED:

COOKIES

FOR KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY!

The Kairos Prison Ministry is asking for volunteers to bake cookies!  They need thousands of cookies by March 15 for their work at the prison!  Home-baked cookies send a messge to the residents that someone who doesn't even know them, cares about them and is praying for them!  Such selflessness is often a very unique experience for them.  These cookies are "seeds of love" being sown in the hearts of those who know so little of God's love!  Who knows what heart will be touched and what life will be changed by your act of love!
If you are inspired by God to bake 2 (or more) dozen cookies, please click on the link below for guidelines:
COOKIE DROP OFF LOCATIONS:
