- Would you like to learn more about women in the Bible? You may be surprised as we connect with some of these amazing women. Mark your calendar for Sunday, February 23rd. We will meet every Sunday from 9:30 to 10:30 for 12 weeks. If you have small children – not to worry! They will have a place in our Sunday School program. Come on out and join as we share our thoughts and relate to some remarkable women from the Bible. Please contact Pat Leiter if you plan to attend.
 During the season of Lent, Pastor Dave will offer a class on Effective Communication with Others on four consecutive Wednesday evenings in the Fellowship Hall. The sessions will run from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. and will occur on March 12, March 19, March 26 and April 2.
The class will address the importance of communication in the church, in our families, in our work settings and so forth. Since effective communication is frequently a challenge, the class will outline certain aspects that make good communication difficult such as conflict, distance, over/underfunctioning, and triangling. The class will also address communication aspects that help us move out of the challenging areas to aspects that are more fruitful. Such areas include: non-reactive communication, open conversation, connectedness, mutuality, and directness. The class will also discuss the importance of boundaries and accountability as effective components of relating well to others.
We communicate with others all the time. Communication is simply a part of life. Sometimes we communicate well and other times we do not. This class will help us understand what is happening when we don’t communicate well and what we need to do to change that. The class will also help us understand what is going on when we do communicate well with others. If you plan to attend the class or have any questions, please contact Pastor Dave.
 Food and friendship--it doesn't get much better than that. The Green Tree dinner socials will be starting up in January for four months on the second Saturday of each month (January 11, February 8, March 8, and April 12, 2014). You can sign up to be a guest. You can sign up to be a host. You can sign up to be a guest and a host.
What’s the purpose of the dinner socials? It’s to enjoy a meal together and to get to know our church family better. Sign-up sheets are available in the lobby. Hope to see you around the table!
 You are invited to attend a weekend of fellowship and service at Camp Swatara on April 25-27, 2014. We will be enjoying some of the usual camp activities such as hiking, campfires and four square and we will be doing a service project for Camp Swatara.
April of 2014 seems to be a long way off, but the planning has already begun. If you are interested in being involved in the planning, contact Emily Messner.
Continuing the Work of Jesus.
Peacefully. Simply. Together.
Welcome to the website of the Green Tree Church of the Brethren. Please accept my invitation to explore this website and learn more about our congregation and the Church of the Brethren.
When people express interest in who we are, it is common for us to respond with the following phrase: “Continuing the Work of Jesus. Peacefully. Simply. Together.” This phrase encapsulates our attempt to follow Jesus in an effort to further his kingdom here on this earth. In essence we are a group of people who endeavor to continue the work Jesus started over 2000 years ago.
As you surf through the links provided on this site, hopefully you will discover ways in which we continue Jesus’ work in the world today. I invite you to join us in this endeavor and to walk with us as we grow in the faith together. Please come worship with us soon and learn more about the activities and events that we offer.
