Inquirer’s Class Starting in March
New to GCC and Want to Know More? The Inquirer’s Class is an important part of the process of becoming a member of GCC. It is the first step toward learning about what makes GCC a wonderfully unique church in our denomination and in our city. The class will begin on Sunday, March 23rd, and take place over five weeks, meeting at the church from 5:00PM – 7:00PM. We will share a meal, hear from our various ministry teams, and go deep into what it means to be a member of GCC. Email Ashley if you are interested: Ashley@GCCMemphis.com.
GCC Children’s Choir
Get your kids ready to sing! Rehearsals will take place on 3/23, 3/30, & 4/06. On April 13th, they will be presenting an anthem in our Palm Sunday worship service. For more information, please contact our music director, Philip Himebook.
Coffee Volunteers Needed
Ever wonder where the delicious coffee we all enjoy Sunday morning comes from? This is your chance to find out. The Hospitality Ministry Team needs folks to make coffee! If we have many hands you're only needed 1 to 2 times a quarter. See Hannah Penn and Ginny Gafford for details, training, and questions.
GCC Girl’s Gathering
Ladies, bring a board! Please join us on Friday March 28th at 6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. Bring your favorite items charcuterie board style. Board ideas: food/snack items the same color, mixed drinks board, the usual charcuterie board of meats and cheeses, desserts board, rainbow fruit board, walking taco board, bagel board, ice cream board, and the list goes on. Check Pinterest if you want more ideas! I hope you'll join the fun for "Bring a Board!" Bring a friend to join us, too. See Women's GroupMe to RSVP or chat with Ginny Gafford.
Children’s Message Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to teach the Children’s Message during the sermon. This is the time when we dismiss our 3 year-olds through Pre-K children from our service to read a bible story and do an activity. No prep is needed ahead of time and all the supplies are provided. You just have to be willing to love our little ones in this way. If you have any questions, please contact Karla Himebook. Click the button below to go to the sign-up genius page to volunteer. There are still several open slots.
Wanted: Choir Members!
Wednesday’s 7:30 - 8:30 PM, Come make a joyful noise to the Lord with us. Rehersals have resumed but it’s never too late to jump in. Singing in the choir is a great way to lead and encourage your church family in worship. Give it a shot, even if you’ve never sung in a choir before. Caution! Participation may cause excessive joy!

Pray for One Another
We pray for one another because we are connected in an authentic community of faith. Each day this week, take a moment to pray for some of the people God has planted in our community. Thank God for calling them to be members of our church family. Pray for His help and provision for their needs. Ask Him to encourage and grow them in their faith. If you have an opportunity, take a moment and send them a word of encouragement this week.
