  • Summer Choir

    Come join the Summer Choir! Our rehearsals begin this Wednesday, June 11 at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary, and are open to everyone 6th grade through senior adult. The Summer Choir leads in our 11:00 worship service each week, and the anthems that are presented will be familiar to most, if not all, of the singers in the choir. It is a wonderful opportunity to sing with us again, to sing with family members and friends, and to “try out” the choir on a less formal basis. The Summer Choir rehearsal schedule is: June 11 July 9 August 6 June 25 July 30 August 20 All rehearsals begin at 7:00 p.m. To sign up, call the church office, or just show up at rehearsal. See you there!


  • Senior's Summer

    Our "Senior's Summer" program for adults 55 and over is in full bloom. On Tuesday, July 8 our monthly luncheon will feature Karen Helm as speaker. Karen, who grew up at GFBC, along with her husband Todd, work in agricultural development programs in West Africa. Upcoming events include breakfast on July 26, and later a trip to Branson, Missouri. New members are welcome. For information, contact Carolyn Hopkins, Minister to Senior Adults, at carolyn.hopkins@gfbccary.org.


  • Youth Summer Bible Studies

    Too much TV is usually considered a bad thing. But this summer, we are going to take a look at TV from a new perspective. Join us for Middle School and High School Bible Study as we take a look at some significant TV moments to jump start our Biblical conversations about topics including: attitude, wants versus needs, communication, relationships, handling problems we face, etc. Email April Alston or call 467-0481.
