August All Church Sunday School

GetSetSabbath

You’re invited to try something new during August. On Sundays, August 9, 16, 23, and 30 we have one inter-generational Sunday School class in the Great Room from 10-10:45 am. Children, youth, and adults will spend the month learning and growing together.

The theme for the class is “On Your Mark, Get Set, Sabbath!” The start of the school year often means the start of hectic schedules for families, and while schedules may not change a lot for those in the congregation without children, these people are busy too.

During these four Sundays, we look at God’s commandment to rest and examine what shape it might take in our homes and in our common life together.

In addition, this is a chance to spend some time with church members of all ages.

Vacation Bible School Thank You

A gigantic thank you to all who helped make Vacation Bible School (VBS) 2015 a success. We spent each morning exploring God’s incredible, unconditional, invincible love. The end of VBS means the beginning of something new: a chance to connect deeper with our children and families.

Sunday Mornings

Starting July 12, Geoff and Jennifer Snook are teaching the children during the 10 o’clock hour on Sunday mornings. Our Summer Sunday School series includes all children ages five to fifth grade. We meet together in Room 101. Parents are welcome to stay or enjoy adult time at Grace Perks.

Family Peach Picking

On July 13, we meet at the church at 9 am and carpool to the Peach Orchard. Remember to wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet. Kansas dew is soggy. Rubber boots, water shoes or sandals are helpful. Also, bring buckets or grocery bags to store your peaches. You may purchase as many peaches as you like, or you can just come along for the ride. Children need a parent or an adult in the orchard to help them pick the fruit. See you then!

Laundry Love is July 12

,

 Laundry Love is Sunday, July 12. We gather at the College Town Laundromat on 17th Street by WSU.

The Grace Evangelism Team received a grant from the presbytery to fund this initiative. Laundry Love is a national grass roots effort. What happens is that each month on the second Sunday from 3-5:30 pm we pay for laundry for people at this particular laundromat. The hope is that we offer a blessing to our sisters and brother who can use a little help and that in time we begin to build relationships. Want to know more? Contact Catherine Neelly Burton, catherine@mygpc.org.
