The men will be meeting at the Black-eyed Pea.

MANNA BAGS AVAILABLE: Sunday, May 12
Pick up several manna bags for distribution to unhoused individuals who come along your path. You might be the only smile and positive interaction they receive that day!  “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters you were doing it to me!’”   Matthew 25:40

Jennifer Reed, our in-house gardening expert, has tomato plants available for $5 each. These plants are all grown from seed under Jen's care and are adapted to Colorado's climate. Please place your order in advance by calling Jennifer at 720-202-0938 and she will bring them to the Sunday service this week. She will offer pepper plants as they mature and are ready for transplanting.

GCC's "ON MISSION" for the Lost, the Lonely, the Local and the Least: Thursday -Sunday, July 11-14

The Vision: To work within our community, reaching those within a few mile radius of our location who are lost, lonely, local, and the least.

No need for travel plans or hotel expenses, but rather a bold outpouring of our love and fellowship to those right here within our reach. We will be engaging individuals upfront and personal.

Plans are in the works to partner with Belmar Baptist and Green Mountain Christian Church, both of which were excited about helping us plan out the areas of town and the people to whom we will be ministering.

As we seek to grow "long branches", let's put that goal to work and do it together.

Watch for updates!
