All are invited to join together to sing in Summer Choir for the 11 am service on Sundays, July 9 and 16, 2017.
We meet in the choir loft at 10 am to learn the music and then sing for the service. You can come for both Sundays or just one. We welcome a variety of ages for this, too, so it might be a great opportunity for your family to come sing!
If you have questions, you can call Donna at the church or email donna@mygpc.org. Come join your voice in song to our God!
Will you be out of town on a Sunday this summer? Want to stay connected to Grace in a lighthearted way? Take “Flat Jesus” with you wherever you go.
Jennifer Snook has a set of Flat Jesus’ ready to share. The idea is that you take one of these images of Jesus with you, take a picture, and send it back to us. We might share your picture in worship or on our social media sites.
Flat Jesus is a fun way to stay connected as you travel with Jesus, whether you go to Mozambique or Mulvane.
Each month Grace distributes bus tickets to people in our community. This happens on the 15th of the month, or if the 15th is 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 invite all guests to a brief worship service with communion in the Great Room at 7:35.
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.
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. Our contributions this month go to the Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church food pantry.
One year ago, the Grace Session formed a task force to consider designating a space on our church property for the burial of ashes. The task force studied the idea, visited other churches that do this, and made a recommendation in favor of this to the Session. The congregation was invited to come and learn about the proposal to talk with the session. After all of that the Session voted in favor of the proposal.
The outdoor space to the east of the Great Room is already a memorial garden. It includes a fountain and benches. The designation of space for the burial of ashes is an extension of this A monument is north of the fountain. Markers will be placed on the monument with the name, birth date, and date of death of each person whose ashes are buried in the garden.
There is a policy that details the guidelines for the garden, and it is available in the church office from Catherine Neelly Burton or Martin Burch. The hope is that this garden will be a gift to the church community.
