Worship at 9 am is in the Great Room and is led musically by our band. The style is less formal than the 11 am service.  The 11 am service is in the Sanctuary and is led musically by our choirs. The style is more traditional.

Children and Youth

  • Children ages 0-2: A nursery is available all morning from 8:50 am – 12:15 pm. From 10 – 10:45 am Colissa Fry leads a Sunday School lesson for these children.
  • 3 year old – 1st Grade: 3 year olds – 1st graders meets in room B10 (in the basement) also known as the Foundation Station.
  • 2nd – 6th Grades: 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders meet in Room 206 (on the 2nd floor), also known as the Excavation Station.  6th graders join this class as mentors for the younger students.
  • Youth: 7-12th graders meet in the Youth Center (downstairs).

Adults

There are three options for adults to participate in Sunday School in November.

  • Love and Logic – Meets in Room 103: Jennifer Snook leads another Love and Logic class.  The Love and Logic philosophy can fit any relationship, and the focus of this class is on parenting.  Love and Logic helps parents raise self-confident, motivated children who are ready for the real world. This class meets November 3, 10, 17 and 24.
  • Bible Study – Meets in the Chapel (on the main floor): This Bible Study for adults studies the sermon text for the day. This class is taught by members of the congregation and staff. This is a wonderful opportunity to go deeper in scripture and to get to know fellow disciples.
  • Steamers Class – Meets in Room 209: This fall the Steamers Class explores the sermon text of the week.  Steamers is a long running class with both longtime and new members.

 

We are excited to welcome our neighbors Watermark Books back to Grace.  On Friday, November 1, at 6:30 pm, we host author Alexander McCall Smith who talks about and signs his book To the Land of Long Lost Friends. This book is part of the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series.

This is a ticketed event, and we will receive some complimentary tickets to share with church members.  We also need volunteers for the event. We provide cookies and coffee and need hosts to offer treats to guests and volunteers to greet at the doors. We also need a crew to help stack chairs at the end of the event.  Contact Catherine Neelly Burton, catherine@mygpc.org or 316-684-5125 to volunteer.
