Save the date! It’s all church retreat time. Join the congregation in August for two days of fellowship, fun, and Christian growth together. This year we’re heading to Prairie View Christian Camp near Arkansas City. Keep an eye out for more information.
Each year we receive the PCUSA Pentecost offering. This offering supports ministries with children at risk, youth, and young adults. We give 60% of the offering to the national church and designate 40% locally.
This year the Grace Mission Distribution Team designates our 40% to Young Lives. Young Lives is part of YoungLife and connects with teen moms.Teen moms are supported in practical ways and through life mentoring.
Sunday, June 2 is our Mission Trip Car Wash. The money raised goes to support 35 youth and guides on our Mission Trip to Denver, Colorado. We partner with the Door Network to serve their inner-city and underprivileged ministries.
Areas of service include: painting with Restoration Brotherhood, leading a week of Vacation Bible School, serving breakfast and lunches for the homeless, being part of the presence ministry at Network Café, along with other ministries.
All you have to do is park your car and register at the table by the coffee bar. We get your car, wash it, and return it to its parking space. We are most appreciative of any donation you can make! Please donate at the table with cash, check or card.

Hallelujah Luau: God’s Mission for You is the theme of our Vacation Bible School week at Grace happening June 10-14. Kids pre-K to sixth grade enjoy a week full of music where they learn to play the ukulele as well as discover some of the great missions in the Bible.
Each day, our Vacation Bible School crew learns about a missionary who served God in specific ways, and on Friday morning the students perform a ukulele concert for all who wish to attend. If you would like to be involved, we need more hands in the craft area, tent leaders, and snack helpers. You may sign up to help any of the days we have available. Just let us know what days you are free when you sign up. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer at jennifer@mygpc.org
