Dear Friends,

Celebrating and remembering faithfulness

Our congregation is truly blessed by the prayers, service, and wisdom of the respected retired ministers who have faithfully served our denomination and Christ throughout their lives. The GCPC session seeks to remember and acknowledge their ongoing faithful service to Christ through our congregation, encouraging one another to serve Christ as well. Once a year, we dedicate a Sunday to expressing our joy and appreciation for their journey with us, recognizing their servant hearts and lifelong commitment to Christ and the community.

Helping Our Own

We cannot help everyone in the world, but we can support those around us as much as we can. At times, our own church members face difficulties and may not know where to turn for help. When I hear such requests, I try to connect them with other members of the congregation, inviting prayers and doing whatever we can. If you would like to receive emails about the needs of our community or be part of a group committed to helping and praying for others, please let me know your email address.

—Rev. Chuck Moon
