A perfect opportunity to get gifts for teachers, coaches, neighbors, friends and family and support these worthwhile programs with your holiday shopping.
This is a reminder that the Mission Christmas Fair will be ONE Sunday only, December 8, between and after church services. Please contact Bonnie Swetman at 812-746-9628 with any questions.

There will be a limited number of soup items for purchase at the Mission Christmas Fair, and you can also place an order that day.

Cookie Sale $5
Cookie Sale $5
The Cookie Sale will run the same times as the Mission Fair, Sunday, Dec. 8 between and after services. We need all our wonderful bakers to help make it possible. Anyone interested in baking a dozen cookies (or two would be nice) can contact Debbie Goodcourage at 248-224-3506.
Containers will be available for you to pick and choose your own cookies for $5. All proceeds will go to the Prayer Shawl Group to help fund the much needed supplies for their many mission projects such as prayer shawls, blankets for patients, cardiac/cancer pillows, fidget lap pads for autistic children and dementia/Alzheimer’s patients, scarves and cross body bags for the homeless.
So gather your baking supplies, put on your aprons and fill your homes with the wonderful baking smells of the holiday while helping the Prayer Shawl Group continue to serve those in need.
Greenfield Supports…….
We believe that God loves everyone. Our faith is centered in Christ. His example of loving service compels us to live our faith. We do this by creating a caring community where all are welcomed and encouraged to join in worship, outreach, and mission work both near and far. We invite you to learn more about our mission activities and join in our service to others.
