Small Groups: I’ve Been Meaning to Ask

,

We’re in the midst of a worship series called, “I’ve been Meaning to Ask…”  Each week we look at a different question and how it connects to scripture and our lives.

You have the opportunity to continue the conversation through a short-term small group.  You are invited to sign up for a two-week group where you look at some of the questions from worship (Where are you from? What do you need? Where do we go from here?) and share thoughts.

You must sign up for a group by contacting the office, 316-684-5215, or signing up on the bulletin board in the building.

The group locations and times are:

  • Tuesday, July 20 and 27 – 6:30 pm in the GPC Parlor
  • Wednesday, July 21 and 28 – 7 pm at the home of Tom and Betsy Bloxham. Participants at the Bloxham home must be fully inoculated from the Covid-19 virus.

Childcare is available upon request.

Jacob’s Learning Ladder April 2021 Updates

April has been very busy for Jacob’s Learning Ladder. We started with Easter celebrations which included coloring eggs and egg hunts! We even had some bunnies and chicks parading around. Children also worked on their five senses skills. Teachers created smell tests, taste tests, and even some touch activities. Spring has sprung in our classrooms; children are “planting” flowers and having Teddy Bear Picnics to celebrate the new season.

We wrapped up April with a family night event, “Let’s Go Fly a Kite, Family Night.” Children made kites, paper airplanes, decorated flower pots to plant seeds in, played with bubbles, competed in sack races, went fishing for prizes, and enjoyed a hot dog dinner with their families!
