Refugee Team Movie Night: June 17

Join the Refugee Team for a movie night at 6:30 pm on Friday, June 17, in the Grace Parlor.  We’re watching “Rain in a Dry Land.”

Rain in a Dry Land provides eye-opening answers as it chronicles the fortunes of two Somali Bantu families, transported by relief agencies from years of civil war and refugee life to Springfield, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia. As the newcomers confront racism, poverty and 21st-century culture shock, the film captures their efforts to survive in America and create a safe haven for their war-torn families. Their poetry, humor and amazing resilience show us our own world through new eyes.

The movie starts at 6:30 pm.  We provide snacks, or feel free to bring your dinner with you.

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: June 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 a weekend, we meet the Friday before.

Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 7 am in the Grace alcove. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 8 am, and a brief worship service with communion follows.

Everyone is invited to stay for worship. The worship service lasts about 15 minutes.

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.
