Grace Kids Update

Children's Worship:  This past week both the preschool and elementary class had an opportunity to answer catechism questions.  The children are doing a fabulous job memorizing them.  An excellent resource to use to help the children with learning them is the ask me whooo cd located on the Resource table as you enter church.  The catechism questions and answers are word-for-word set to music.  We listen to the cd during children's worship as well and they love it!!  There are copies of volume 1 (questions 1 - 53) and volume 2 (questions 54 - 108) available.  This coming Sunday, June 3rd the preschool children will have an opportunity to say their catechism answers.  Keep on practicing at home!!

Sunday Communities: The Sunday Community classes are coming to an end.  We only have 2 more weeks left of the school year and then we will be taking a summer break!  THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MY TEAM OF TEACHERS!!  You have done a wonderful job reaching out to the children this year and caring for them.  As a parent, I can't begin to express my appreciation for the time you take to plan and teach them about Jesus.  

We have a need of more teachers for next year as another class is being added.  If you are interested in teaching please contact me at:  julie@gcpres.org

GCPC Camping Trip coming up in 2 days!! Look for pictures on Sunday.  This will be the first camping trip personally for our family.  I'm not too sure what to expect!!  Thank you Ross and Sandy for leading this event for church.

Grace Kids Worship

It's hard to believe we are wrapping up the end of the school year. With the ending of the school year, we will take a break from Sunday Community Classes and Grace Kids Worship.  We will have our final class on June 10th.  Also during the service on June 10th all children and Grace Kids Leaders will be singing during the closing songs.  The two songs they will be singing are The Fruit (Seeds of Character CD) and Love the Lord.  They will be learning these songs over the next month at church. 
 Check out the following websites to hear the music.
