Join us for our Progressive Dinner on March 8th! Everyone is warmly invited to a favorite annual tradition! Here’s how it works!! Everyone gathers together at 6pm for appetizers at the church – that’s when you’ll find out your dinner location! At 7:00, everyone departs for dinner in a church member home, shared in groups of 8-10 people. After dinner, we’re back together at another lovely home for coffee and dessert. This event has become a very popular GHCC tradition, enjoyed by both folks who are new to the church and those who have been with us for many years. If you would like to join in the fun, we do ask that you sign up by February 28th. Everyone contributes to the dinner by bringing a salad, appetizer or dessert … or by hosting one of the dinners! If you would like to sign up for the event and/or volunteer to host, or just have a question, please contact the Church Office at info@greenfieldhillchurch.com

Help us with our monthly dinners at Operation Hope! We provide meals on the first Wednesday of every month and are looking for six volunteers each month to prepare the main meal, salad, or dessert. Click here to sign up!
