 Adults

The Christian Discipleship Team has a diverse and inspiring line-up of Sunday morning classes for adults this fall.  We have two four-week units planned.  The first unit is from September 11 – October 2.  Classes are from 10 – 10:45 am.  There are three adult classes to choose from.

  • Raising Kids with Love and Logic: From the Delivery Room to the Dorm Room
    • Join Jennifer Snook and Cindy Dethloff for an interactive look at raising kids.  This class is ideal for parents, grandparents, and anyone else who spends time with young people. Jennifer and Cindy will introduce the class to the ‘Love and Logic’ approach of working with children and youth.  This class meets in Room 101.
  • Sacred Art and History
    • Join Randy Routsong and Steve Hooper for a look at sacred art and the history around it.  As this dynamic duo works together, Randy will focus on the art and Steve on the history.  This class is lecture based and meets in the Chapel.
  • God Calls Us All: Passion and Action
    • Carolyn Shaw leads this video based class.  Each week the class will watch a video and hear from someone who heard God’s call and answered.  The stories explore the surprising ways that God calls and challenges us, the ways God puts us in situations we wouldn’t expect, and the ways God walks with us through it all.  This class meets in Room 103.

Morning Worship

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: August 15

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is a weekend we meet the Friday before. Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 7 am in the Grace alcove.

Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 8 am, and a brief worship service with communion follows.  Everyone is invited to stay for worship.  The worship service lasts about 15 minutes.

We can always use volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and ticket distribution. Want to help? Contact Kirk Anderson, kirk@mygpc.org or 684-5215.
