Sunday School On Break For Summer!
Communicant’s Class
A “communicant’s class” is a special class designed to help covenant children transition from being, what we call, non-communing members to full communing members of GCC. That means that, not only will they be given all the rights and privileges of full church membership, but they will be admitted participation in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper by the session. It is, most importantly, the time when our covenant children first make a public profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul and Ashley will be co-teaching the class on Sunday mornings after worship for five weeks starting June 1st. The Communicant’s Class will take place during the fellowship hour immediately following worship. Go to: GCCMemphis.com/Communicants

Shelby Farms Hangout with the Baxley’s!
The Baxley’s are coming in town from Colombia and we want to invite everyone to a fun hangout at Shelby Farms with them. Join us on Friday, June 20th at the Pine Lake Pavilion, which is located by the Woodlands playground. There will be some seating in this pavilion, which is located near indoor restrooms, but plan to bring lawn chairs or blankets too. We’ll hang out beginning at 3pm and stay as long as people are having fun! Feel free to bring picnic food or snacks. There is a grill provided if anyone wants to utilize that. This link will take you the pavilion on a map. For questions contact Amanda Morris.
2 Corinthians Sermon Series: Servants of the New Covenant
This May we will begin a new sermon series from Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth. Actually, it’s his fourth letter and there’s a complex history of trouble in that church. Praise the Lord for the trouble in Corinth because without it, we would never have this valuable letter from these Servants of the New Covenant.
Men’s Prayer Meeting: Monday’s at 7:00 PM in the GCC Sanctuary
Men’s “Odd Wednesday’s” Lunchtime Bible Study
Our next “Odd Wednesday” Bible Study will take place on June 18th. Men, join us for a bible study from 12 - 1pm at GCC. This study will meet on the first and third Wednesday’s of each month (Get it, “Odd Wednesday’s?”). Bring a lunch and your Bible. We will start promptly at noon and finish promptly at 1 o'clock, so you can get back to work. We will be working our way through the book of Ephesians using R. C. Sproul’s commentary as our guide.
Upcoming “Odd Wednesday’s” - June 18th & July 2nd.

Pray for One Another
We pray for one another because we are connected in an authentic community of faith. Each day this week, take a moment to pray for some of the people God has planted in our community. Thank God for calling them to be members of our church family. Pray for His help and provision for their needs. Ask Him to encourage and grow them in their faith. If you have an opportunity, take a moment and send them a word of encouragement this week.
