Pastor Appreciation Opportunity

October is Hallmark's Pastor Appreciation Month.  We are NOT doing it just because Hallmark said to. But rather, we do want to celebrate the ministry Staff here at Grace that the Lord has blessed us with.  I know many of you express appreciation to these individuals on a regular basis and they are grateful.  But we are taking the time between now and October 20th to recognize Pastor Nick, Pastor Nathan, Children's Leader, Kelly Gibson, and our Worship Leader, Chris Campbell.  We have provided cards out on the table in the Hospitality area that you can take with you as you leave today and the following Sundays, to express your thoughts.  There will be a time of honoring on October 20th.  Thank you!

Introducing "Hugo"!

Hugo was born right here in our church pumpkin patch. Can you guess his weight? Please don't pick him up, but whoever gets closest to his weight gets to take him home. The winner will be announced at Sunday service, October 27th.With your guesses you are encouraged to give a free will offering and all money will go towards the 2025 GCC Garden!  Thank you for your support.
