Changes at GCC ~ Beginning this week, we will begin using a number system for the nursery and 3 to 6 year old children's church. Your child will be assigned a number and you will be given a card with that number on it. If nursery workers need parents the number assigned to your child will be displayed in the front right side of the church. If you see your child's number being displayed, we ask that you please make your way quickly and quietly to the room your child is in. Parents will also need to complete an informational sheet on each child.
Please see
Trisha Farr (trisha101@gmail.com) or
Peggy Cote (bikerpeg@Hotmail.com)
if you have not completed an information sheet
or if you have any questions

HELP IS NEEDED ~ We have HUGE changes coming our way with our current growth and new location. With that growth is an increased need in having people that are willing to serve in some capacity on Sunday mornings. There are MANY areas that will need servants ~ nursery, children's church, ushers, greeters, snacks, technology ~ and that is just for starters. You can help! You can make a difference! God has brought you to GCC - and He has so much more in store for you than just showing up on Sunday mornings.
Please see Peggy Cote (bikerpeg@hotmail.com), Jeremy Brown (HPTSeanHawk01@aol.com 577-4337) or Carol McBreairty (Jcdcmcb@aol.com 240-5984) if you are willing to help
