Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community.  This happens on the 15^th of the month, or if the 15^th is on a weekend we meet the Friday before.  Volunteers and those receiving tickets begin to gather around 6:30 am in the Grace Alcove. We offer a brief worship service at 7:30 am.  Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:45 am.

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.

Christmas Eve is Tuesday, December 24. We worship in the evening at 5 pm (Great Room) and 8 pm (Sanctuary).  Both services include the Lord’s Supper, and the 8 pm service includes candlelight. Children are always welcome in worship, but if you prefer, a nursery is available at both 5 pm and 8 pm. Christmas Eve is a night of beauty and mystery: join us.

It’s time for the annual potluck Christmas Brunch.  The brunch is from 10-11 am in the Great Room on Sunday, December 22.  Bring a dish to share.  There is a bulletin board with sign-up sheets at Grace.  Enjoy fellowship and food on the fourth Sunday of Advent!

Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.  In November and December our contributions go to Operation Holiday.  Operation Holiday is a mission of Humankind Ministries (formerly known as Interfaith Ministries).  Operation Holiday expects to serve over 15,000 people this year.

Are you a Grace visitor? Come learn more about our church on Sunday, December 8, at 10 am.  Enjoy coffee and refreshments in Room 103 with Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton.

We’ll talk about Grace, how you might get more involved, and what it means to join the church.  Get to Know Grace takes place during the Sunday School hour. RSVPs are not required but are helpful, 684-5215, or catherine@mygpc.org.
