Greenwood's First Ever Brunch Church
Greenwood is excited to close its worship series with Brunch Church: an event which combines worship, a meal, fellowship, and fun altogether! Rather than meeting in the sanctuary, participants will gather around tables in the fellowship hall to share the scriptures, host Ms. Rogers for a final interview and enjoy a scrumptious breakfast together including pancakes, bacon, and more. You don't want to miss this unique worship service at Greenwood.
