Help in our Hospitality Department
Hey GCC! We need some help with a couple of things in our hospitality department. We’d love if you would pray-fully consider serving our church community in this way!
First up - we need a Sunday Fellowship Coordinator: This person will team up with Ginny Gafford to do a few tasks such as: send out a sign-up every 3 months or so for our greeters and coffee makers to pick their dates to serve, contact our coffee provider for needed items, etc. If you are interested in learning more about this roll and how you’d be helping, please check out our Hospitality Roles here.
Help with events: We need a group of 4-6 people to help with potlucks and events. Don’t worry, not with every event, but we do need a good rotation of people in place to help. Next upcoming event: November 16 Thanksgiving Potluck.
Thanksgiving Potluck
Join us for our Thanksgiving Potluck on November 16th at 12PM. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. ** IMPORTANT REMINDER: Don’t forget the gobble gobble! There will be 4 turkey’s in the church kitchen THIS SUNDAY (9th) that need to be taken home, cooked and brought back for potluck day! **
November Men’s Breakfast
BRING A FRIEND! Saturday, November 22nd at 9AM join us for a Hobbit-worthy breakfast feast, good fellowship, and a featured speaker, our own Dan Hall. Dan will be speaking on "Redemptive Imagination," connecting J. R.R. Tolkien's themes to the biblical reality of the gospel.
This is the second in our series on all of faith for all of culture. We will be looking at faith in art, literature, pop culture, sports, etc. If you have a topic you would like to see covered, let us know.
Christmas is Coming!
Family Advent devotional books and activity packets are available! Children's Ministry has prepared packets to go with two Advent devotional books - Good News of Great Joy and Little Hearts Prepare Him Room. Pick one up from the table under the Parent Resource shelves. There are a limited number of each book available, as well, if your family does not have them from previous years.

Important Notice From the Deacons
Please be aware that we will be consolidating our financial platform in 2026 to Church Center. This will replace our current Tithe.Ly and Breeze systems. If you have automatic giving setup in Tithe.Ly, we ask that you please be on the lookout to shift to Church Center as we will no longer use Tithe.Ly or Breeze after the start of the year. We will provide more details as we move towards this transition.

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.
