Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: May 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 on a weekend we meet the Friday before. Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:50 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.

Wheelbarrows and Rakes Needed: Wednesday, April 17

,

The mulch is coming! Periodically we replenish the mulch on our playground. This means that giant load of mulch is dropped off in the north parking lot then hauled barrow by barrow to the playground where it is dropped off and spread.

This year we have a team of students from East High coming to help with the work. Every spring East students spend a day serving with ‘Aces in the Community,’ and we’re excited that they’re serving here. We know they are excellent mulch-movers and spreaders, but we need to borrow some equipment from you. If you have a wheelbarrow or sturdy metal rake we can borrow, please mark your name on it and drop it by the church by Wednesday, April 17. Mulch spreading day is Thursday, April 18. Thanks!
