Adults

There are two options for adults to participate in Sunday School in March.

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: February 14

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community.  This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is on a weekend we meet the Friday before.  Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. We offer a brief worship service at 7:30 am.  Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:45 am.

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.

Sunday Morning Preaching Schedule for January 2020

February 2    

Our text for the day comes from John 20.  (We’re taking a one-week break from the Narrative Lectionary.)  In the John text, Thomas wants to see the marks in the resurrected Jesus’ hands.  In worship we talk about the marks of discipleship that people see when they look at our church.  We celebrate the Lord’s Supper at both services.  Catherine Neelly Burton preaches and shares the work the Session is doing to lead our congregation.

February 9      

We return to the Narrative Lectionary this week.  Our text comes from Mark 6.  Catherine Neelly Burton preaches.

February 16    

Our scripture for the day comes from Mark 7.  Catherine Neelly Burton preaches.

February 23    

This is Kids Lead Sunday! We have one worship service at 10 am in the Great Room.  This is the last Sunday before Ash Wednesday, and we say goodbye to Alleluia.  The Grace annual congregational meeting follows worship.
