Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: April 15

,

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This typically happens on the 15th of the month.  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 8:00 am, and a brief worship service 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.
