Sharing: “Each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation . . .”(I Corinthians 14:26) The early church congregants came to worship as active participants and not merely passive recipients. During the week and during our service, we recognize that the Holy Spirit will give special manifestations of His Presence for the purpose of building one another up in Christ. These testimonies and gifts are welcomed and facilitated at GFF when they are offered in accordance with Biblical guidelines (I Corinthians 14: 12-19, 26-40 and I Timothy 2:12.) Time constraints and the flow of the service may not permit everyone to share as he or she would like.

Giving: We prefer this time to be an opportunity for us at GFF to give to you as our guest. We consider it a privilege and a part of our worship to give to the Lord who so freely has given to us. We have a special offering box in the back for those who desire to give. All gifts are tax-deductible, and receipts are provided annually. 

Communion: The Lord’s Supper is meant to be a time of reflection and blessing and must not be taken in an unworthy manner. Use this time to examine yourself, confess any known sins, and renew right relationships. (I Corinthians 11:27-32) His table is open to any believer in good standing in the Lord’s church, even if not a member of GFF.
