1. Gospel-Style Hymn Sing

Sunday, September 26, 9:00 a.m., Sanctuary

Join us in the Sanctuary on Sunday, prior to worship, for a good old fashioned hymn sing! Cameron Cody, a gifted and enthusiastic pianist from Chapelwood United Methodist Church, will be leading us on the piano as we sing through some favorite gospel hymns. Don't miss this fun opportunity to lift our voices together in praise and celebration! 

2. Car Wash

Saturday, September 25, 2:00-4:00 p.m.

Our student-led Grace Car Wash will be Saturday, September 25 from 2:00-4:00 p.m.! We will be meeting at Grace and giving out free car washes to anyone in the area. This is for people of ALL ages, and we could really use your help! For our students, they can earn service hours by participating in the car wash, and they can earn an extra hour by setting up with us at 1:00 p.m. We can’t wait to serve with you!

3. Monthly Evening Worship and Potluck Dinner

Sunday, October 3, in the Chapel
5:00 p.m. Worship, 6:00 p.m. Potluck Dinner

Worship - In the Beatitudes, Jesus offers us a vision of how to embrace the kingdom of God and invites us into practices for living a life of faith in the world. Over the next few months we invite you to join us on this journey of worship as we look at how these teachings of Jesus form us as followers of Christ through the words, postures, and practices of Jesus himself. Note that this worship service will be completely different content from the Sunday morning series on Romans.

Food - Following worship will be a potluck dinner in Massey Tucker Hall. In October we will continue our World Communion Day celebration, please bring a global dish of your choice-enough to feed your family plus four more. Just drop your goodies in MTH before worship then we’ll enjoy them after worship!

Childcare will be available, please contact Julie Clark (jclark@gpch.org) with the names and ages of your children.

Congregational Meeting

Following the worship service on Sunday, October 3 there will be a Congregational Meeting for all church members to elect elders and deacons as well as two at-large representatives to the Church Officer Nominating Committee.
