Choir and Bell Choir Seasons are approaching, and we would love for you to join us!

We don’t require prior experience or particular skill. I (Sean) truly believe that anyone can join either our Chancel Choir or bell choir and contribute to our ministry. Currently we have open spots in bell choir, and are looking for more singers – especially men!

Chancel Choir starts on Wednesday, August 29 at 7 pm, and Bells starts Thursday, September 6 at 6:30.  If you have questions then talk to Sean Foster, or e-mail him at Sean@mygpc.org

This fall we offer Love and Logic at 10 am on Sundays.  The classes start on September 9 and meet in the Parlor.

Love and Logic happens when we allow children to make decisions, make affordable mistakes and experience the natural or logical consequences.  When we balance this with sincere empathy, they develop the following logic: The quality of my life depends on the quality of my choices. 

But what do we do when our parenting button gets pushed?  How do we get teens to be respectful and help out around the house?  Is it possible for kids to solve their own problems?

These and many more questions are answered through the Love & Logic workshops.  The Love and Logic techniques really work and remind parents that parenting can be fun again.

NEW Prayer Group forming!

“Encouragement Through the College Years” has an introductory meeting on Tuesday, August 28, at 7 pm in Room 101.

This group is for moms, dads, grandparents, and siblings who meet once a month to pray over issues college students face as they live in and around college campuses. Topics are taken from “And So We Pray – Supporting Young Adults Through the College Years” by Maribeth Harper.

Experts – those who have been through this season of life – are welcome to attend and share their wisdom.  If you are interested, please come on the Tuesday and see what we can do with a school year of prayer.
