My Coins Count Youth Project
GMC Fellowship Young & Old Collect Your Coins for the “My Coins Count” Youth Project. Each year, spare change collected by churches adds up & supports MCC projects around the world. This year, donations from My Coins Count will go towards Education Projects, & can be brought to MCC's Relief Sale Festival in June. Please visit this link for stories, photos, & other resources to share with your congregation: https://mcc.org/get-involved/fundraiser/my-coins-count. Starting Sun Feb. 22 to Sun Mar 29 (5 weeks), the GMC Youth will be collecting coins for this project during the church service. Let’s Raise Some Cash GMC!!

Easter Egg Decorating
Come join us on Sat, March 28th from 1-3pm in the fellowship hall for an afternoon of Easter fun as we decorate Easter eggs!! We will supply the eggs & dying kits. There will be hot beverages & treats. If you like, feel free to bring a treat to share, &/or any additional decorating items you have at home!
If possible to let us know you're coming so we know how many boiled eggs to bring, that would be helpful (but RSVP is not strictly necessary - come anyways!) If you have any questions & to let us know you're coming, please contact :Victoria Friesen or Amy Ashton
Palm Sunday
GMC is inviting the youth to join in celebrating Palm Sunday on Sun, March 29. The youth are asked to gather in their Sunday School rooms about 15 minutes prior to the service (9:45 AM). At this time the youth will be given the Palm Leaves & have a sash put on. This is a long standing tradition of GMC to start off the Palm Sunday church service by having the ‘waving the palm leaves’ by the GMC youth. It is always fun! Our Choir will be singing this Sunday as well.
Office Hours
Easter Office Hours: The church office will be closed on Good Friday; April 3rd and Tuesday April 7th for the Easter Weekend. Have a wonderful Easter everyone!
Maundy Thursday Service
Please join us for the Maundy Thursday service: April 2 at 7pm. We will celebrate with the theme: "The Fabric of Jesus' Life" We hope you can join us either in person or online. We will be having Communion during the service.
Easter Sunday Breakfast
The GMC Education Ministry will be organizing the Easter Sunday Breakfast. It will be on Sun, April 5, 9:00 - 9:45 am. It will be a ‘Potluck’ – we are asking folks to bring Easter food such as hard boiled eggs, paska, hot cross buns, cheese, fruit. Coffee/Tea will be served. We would also ask for volunteers to help with the clean-up.
New Arrival
Welcome New Arrival. Daniel Yordit, a nephew to Yout Achin & a Sudanese refugee living in Egypt for a number of years, is expected to arrive at the Regina airport by Air Canada at about 10:30pm on April 16. He will be living with Yout & Catherine for the first year. We welcome you, Daniel, & pray that your transition to Canada will be smooth & successful. If you are able, join us at the airport to give him a warm welcome.
Garage Sale Volunteers
We are going to need lots of volunteers for the upcoming Garage Sale. Following the service on Apr 19th we are blitzing the neighborhood with flyers & putting up signs. Any youth (or young at heart!) who are willing & able to help we would appreciate it. Bring a bag lunch if you need it.
We will need approximately 18-20 helpers for the sale; both sorting, pricing & set up during the week before the sale (Apr19-22), & lots of help during the sale. Kitchen volunteers are separate. Sign-up sheets will be up at the back of church. So watch for them. For now, please consider how you can help & watch the bulletin for more details, email Ingrid or the office if you can help.
We are so blessed by all of our volunteers! It is what made our sale last year so successful. We look forward to an even better year this year!

Reminder
Please start sorting through your stuff for donations for the upcoming Garage Sale on Apr 23-25. Proceeds go for the church roof mortgage. The purpose is to connect with our neighbours & to reuse items that we no longer need. & maybe do a little shopping ourselves. As part of our Creation Care initiative. We will need quality clean items in good condition. No clothing, cribs or car-seats please.
