MANNA BAGS AVAILABLE THIS SUNDAY

As we continue in the grip of a cold winter, our thoughts turn to those who are homeless, living on the streets.  Our Manna Bag team has packaged a number of bags with potentially life-saving items for handout to those who you might see as you drive through the metro Denver area.  You are welcome to take several bags on your way out today.  Be a blessing to those folks!

GCC'S MEAL TRAIN OPPORTUNITY

Additional volunteers are needed for the meal train presently operating at GCC. When someone is going through a difficult time, it can be hard to know how to best support them. Whether they just had a baby, lost a family member, or had a major surgery, making sure they have their basic needs met—food being one of them—is step number one.  Laura Lahr is the contact for this beautiful ministry.  You may speak to her about getting your name on the list to provide a meal.  She can be reached at lrlongwood@hotmail.com.

T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

GCC T-shirts displaying the new logo on the front, are available for purchase this Sunday for $15 each.  A display will be set up in the Hospitality area and someone will be there to assist you if you are interested in purchasing.  You may also use the link https://form.jotform.com/223125075233042 to purchase them online.  Check it out!
