FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus by praying for our team and donating over 15,000 diapers and many formula containers!
Over spring break, many families from our GCS community went to Juarez, Mexico, on a mission trip, to deliver the diapers collected during our annual Diaper Drive. The outpouring of generosity from our Greenfield community was incredible! In addition, we had the opportunity to build a house for a sweet family, play with the kids at an orphanage, serve at a food outreach, and join our brothers and sisters in Christ and worship together in church. We had 8 GCS families, 3 GCS teachers, and 14 GCS students as part of our team, and they did an incredible job participating in all the activities!
