I hope you are having a great day! Here are some updates this week you need to know…
- Christmas Eve Services – This year we will be offering 4 identical Christmas Eve services. Our services times this year are 12PM, 2PM, 4PM, and 6PM. Each service will have Grace Kids programming for Pre-K and under and will consist of Christmas carols, a challenge from God’s Word and will conclude with our traditional candle lighting. To help us better serve you and your family, please click here to sign-up for the service you plan to attend.
- Ushers Needed for Christmas Eve – In anticipation of many guests for our Christmas Eve services and our desire to provide a warm and welcoming experience, we are in need of additional ushers to serve. Please contact David Coleman if you can help at 12PM, 2PM, 4PM or 6PM.
- Christmas Mission Project – This year we are partnering with Three Strands to build a remote clinic in Haiti! Please stop by the table in the lobby to learn more or click here to give.
- Passion 2025 – Grace Powell Church once again will be taking 50 young adults (18-25) to the Passion Conference. We will be leaving Wednesday, January 1st at 8AM and returning late evening on Saturday, January 4th. The cost is $375 which covers your ticket, hotel, transportation, and 2 meals. To sign-up click here, and you can reach out to Pastor Jeff or Pastor Joseph if you have any questions.
- 2025 Kalahari Retreat – We are inviting all current 8th-12th graders to join us for the 2025 Kalahari Retreat in Sandusky, OH from January 10th-12th. This retreat is a weekend of worship, Biblical teaching, community, and fun inside one of America’s largest water parks, register your student here.
- Basketball Volunteers Needed – Praise God, we are approaching 500 players for our upcoming winter basketball league! Of that, over 81% do not attend GPC. Would you consider helping us reach those children and their families? Click here to find out more about volunteering!
- Sermon Translation – I am so excited to announce that beginning this Sunday, December 8th, we will be providing live translation in over 60 languages for the sermon portion of each of our services. How does it work? Each week there will be a QR code to scan at the beginning of the sermon that will provide live translation which you can either read live on your phone or listen to the audio translation through your headphones. This is an incredible way for us to minister to those who do not speak English.
- Tech Team Volunteers Needed – The GPC Worship Tech Team is in need of willing folks to serve on the Livestream Broadcast Team. You don’t need experience, just to be teachable and willing to serve. If you feel God calling you to serve in this vital ministry, please contact Pastor Bob or our Livestream Coordinator, Josh Northeimer.
I cannot wait to worship with you this Sunday at 9 or 11AM as we begin our “Christmas Lights” sermon series!
God bless you!
Pastor Jeff
