Yesterday was my first Sunday at GSGBC. The congregation is small but full of the Holy Spirit, a welcome sight. I introduced myself at both the morning service and the evening coffeehouse service.
A funny story to pass on:
In the morning service John Pressdee was preaching after I had introduced myself to the congregation. To illustrate the point that we needed to rest in God's promises, John began to sit down on one of the brand new American made chairs the church had just gotten. As he went to sit, however, he stopped himself and just sort of squatted over the chair, straining to hold his position. Just as we often question God's ability to support us, John questioned the chair: "I don't know if I can trust this chair. It's American, you know." I nearly yelled out at that point, saying "The Americans have saved your behind once before, John."
When I told this to John after the service, he burst out laughing and said I should have done it. It's nice to know that the congregation has a sense of humor.

Glad you're doing well. Hey, did you ever find out about the redundancy of the name? Green...Green? Or did it become apparent as soon as you saw the place.
We watched a PBS special re: D-Day last eve. Much of it from the British point of view, which we hadn't had as much exposure to.
