Green Bay April Update – April 27, 2020
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dear Green Bay Family
We are thinking of you all in the midst of these unpredictable days. With so much happening in our cities, our country and our world we are being reminded of how important it is right now to choose joy. These are days filled with beautiful hidden blessings, and deep joys that we get to experience fully, simply because we are able to slow down long enough to see them. The uncertainty of these days has also come with heartache and sorrow for many. What we also know is that our God is good and He is faithful and He is at work even in the moments when we don’t see it or feel it. We want you to know that we are thinking of you all and praying for you in these days ahead and that your family’s love of Green Bay and support of this place is one of our deep joys today. While times are changing and many things are unknown, at this time we want to connect with you and keep you up to date on what is happening here at Green Bay.
