The best way to begin a celebration is through worship. Friday, March 7th, at 6pm, will be the kickoff of the GIC weekend, and we will have a worship service in the Fellowship Hall with music led by Jordan Curry and Jesse Davis and our children's ministry. Tanya Weaver with American Foundation for Children with Aids will be bringing the message (The children will be dismissed during this time to work on a kid-friendly mission activity). We encourage you to take part in this very special time.
If you have a child who would like to participate in singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands", please be in the Fellowship Hall by 5:40pm. Click Here for a link to the song.
After worship, there will be a time to meet our missionary partners and find out more about them.
