No Street Parking- Where there is a double yellow line in the street there is no parking either side because they are through lanes. Please refrain from parking in this area on Fairfield. It is also important that if you park on the street elsewhere, you park in the direction of the flow of traffic in the lane you are parking next to.
There is ample parking in the park on Fernwood and in the paved and gravel lots on Fairfield and Bluemont. Handicap spaces are available in the paved lot. Please try to reserve street parking on Fernwood and Fairfield for those with mobility issues.
We are working hard to keep our members, groups, and neighbors safe. We appreciate your cooperation.

Hanging of the Greens and Soup Supper November 24 Please join us for our annual Hanging of the Greens on November 24 at 5:00 p.m. as we decorate the sanctuary and the church with beautiful greenery of the Christmas season. Come and help hang greenery and wreaths and decorate our lovely trees to prepare for the Advent season. Stay for our Soup Supper which will begin at 6:00 p.m. We always have wonderful soups to share with the congregation! Please sign up for supper on the Fellowship bulletin board so we’ll have an idea of how many tables to set up. If your last name begins with A-L, bring a dessert. If it begins with M-Z, bring bread or crackers. If you are willing to make a pot of soup, Fellowship would appreciate the help! Please sign up on the Fellowship board and note the soup you will bring. Plan to have your soup in the kitchen by 5:30. We will eat at 6:00. See you on November 24 as we prepare for the coming of the Baby Jesus.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... "
Once again we have the opportunity to make Christmas a little brighter for some very needy children. As in the past, there are two organizations we are supporting, Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree and FaithAction International House.
We have committed to serving a total of 80 children - we hope you will help us!
We suggest approximately $40 be spent on each child.
Here are the details for each ministry:
Angel Tree: Guilford Park is once again taking part in Angel Tree, a gift-giving ministry sponsored by Virginia-based Prison Fellowship for local children who have a parent in prison. We have committed to buying gifts for 50 children (from toddlers to teens) from the Greensboro area. The Angel Tree, with children’s names and wish lists attached, will be available next to the church office on November 17. Your help is greatly appreciated! We need gifts wrapped and returned to the church by December 8 (This will allow us to do inventory ahead of the youth-sponsored party December 15). Like to help but don’t want to shop? Monetary contributions to pay for gifts also are appreciated - make a check to GPPC and indicate "Angel Tree." If you have questions, call or text Heather Amick at 336-420-5714. Heather will also be available in between services November 17, 24, and December 1.
FaithAction: Once again Guilford Park is supporting the children served by FaithAction with the Toy Drive, and this year we have been given 30 children up through age 11 for whom to buy toys. Names and requested toy categories will be available in the Gathering Area November 17 and 24 between services. We are asked to wrap and tag 2 or 3 gifts for each child. Gifts need to be returned to the church by December 4 to allow us time to inventory for delivery on December 6. Toys representing diverse races and ethnicities are especially appreciated. Like to help but don't want to shop? Monetary contributions are also appreciated - make a check to GPPC and indicate "FA Toys." If you have questions, call or text Melanie Rodenbough at 336-339-6727.
