Wheelbarrows and Rakes Needed: Wednesday, April 17

The mulch is coming! Periodically we replenish the mulch on our playground. This means that giant load of mulch is dropped off in the north parking lot then hauled barrow by barrow to the playground where it is dropped off and spread.

This year we have a team of students from East High coming to help with the work. Every spring East students spend a day serving with ‘Aces in the Community,’ and we’re excited that they’re serving here. We know they are excellent mulch-movers and spreaders, but we need to borrow some equipment from you. If you have a wheelbarrow or sturdy metal rake we can borrow, please mark your name on it and drop it by the church by Wednesday, April 17. Mulch spreading day is Thursday, April 18. Thanks!

Holy Week 2019

holy weekHoly Week begins with Palm Sunday on April 14.  Join us for morning worship at either 9 and 11 am as we experience the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

On Thursday, April 18, we gather for Maundy Thursday worship at 7 pm in the Grace Sanctuary.  We hear the story of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, his betrayal, and arrest, and we prepare ourselves for Good Friday.  This is a Tenebrae service which includes the Lord’s Supper.

Friday, April 19, is Good Friday.  We worship at noon in the Grace Sanctuary.  During the 30 minute service we worship through scripture and song.

Sunday, April 21, is Easter, and we celebrate our risen Lord!  We worship at 9 and 11 am.  Between services all are invited to adorn the Easter cross on the front lawn with flowers.

Bus Tickets and Morning Worship: April 15

Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community.  This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th 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. Guests are greeted with smiles, coffee, water, and a place to sit. Tickets are distributed at 7:50 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.
