My Coins Count
MCC Connects: Join the My Coins Count fun! 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 food 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
Beginning March 9-April 13, our Sunday School kids will be collecting “My Coins Count” ~they will be passing containers to collect change for MCC. This will be done immediately following the children’s story. So bring your loose change to church to support this.
Peace & Service
This Sunday, Feb 23rd, is going to be a very special service & we wanted to let you know about it. It will be a Peace & Service service. Some of our past new families will be sharing their stories, ministering to us in special music, & there will be a slide show.
We hope you can be here in person or join us online it will be a wonderful reminder of why GMC serves in this way. We are happy to be such a diverse & international type of church and want to celebrate that.

Palm Sunday
GMC is inviting the youth to join in celebrating Palm Sunday on Sunday, April 13, by starting off the service by waving the traditional Palm Leaves before the service. The youth are asked to gather in their Sunday School rooms to get the Palm Leaves about 15 minutes before the service. After the service everyone is invited to join in learning how to make a ‘cross’ with the Palm Leaves-Ingrid has volunteered to show us a new skill.
