GCF NEWSLETTER (08/27/26) 🙌

THIS SUNDAY:

Join us as we continue our study in 1 John.

We'll see you Sunday @ 10am!

Announcements / Upcoming Events:

First Light Prayer

"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." Mark 1:35

The church will be open every Friday morning, from 7:00am- 8:30am for anyone who desires some time of quiet prayer with the living God. No agenda- just sitting at His feet in worship and seeking stillness before the Lord.

Sunday, August 30th we will be observing the Lord's Supper through the practice of Intinction.

This is a special way we participate in communion together by taking bread and dipping it in the cup, and being reminded of the Gospel.

Kid’s Ministry Class Reminder

Sunday, August 30th is the 5th Sunday of the month.

Kindergarten -5th-grade Kids Ministry classes will be sitting with their families for the entire service to experience "adult church".

There are 4 occurrences of 5th Sunday each year. We hope you will see the value of occasionally allowing older children to experience adult church. This helps to prepare the children when they enter 6th grade for them to be more accustomed to the transition of sitting in church each week.

This also allows the children to witness the sacrament of communion or participate. We leave that decision up to parents and if they feel the child is ready to participate in communion and fully understand this symbolic reminder of Christ’s sacrifice in death and dying for our sins.

6 month -4-year-old kid’s classes will be staffed as usual!

Thank You!
