Sunday School

Current Adult Sunday School Classes (4th Quarter, March-May)

There is a study for every adult in the GCC Sunday School curriculum from studies which study the books of the Bible verse by verse to classes that follow a defined curriculum.  There are those that teach "classroom style" and others which use various audio/visual aids to get across their message.  Sunday School meets from 9:00 AM to 10:00AM each Sunday Morning.  Come be a participant!

College and Career (Led by Stan Friesen) - Study:  Topical Bible Memory.  The class will be learning how to hide God's Word in their hearts to that He can use it whenever He wants.

W.O.W.  Women of Worth

WOW is Women of Worth, an organization whose purpose is to create an accepting and supportive atmosphere which provides a mother with opportunities for friendship, fellowship and encouragement to handle the demands of motherhood while cultivating a personal relationship with Christ.  WOW offers support through the sharing of life experiences from a biblical perspective through small group discussions, a prayer chain, speakers (with topics ranging from frugal living to political awarness), mom-only and mom-child outings, craft projects and great food.  Meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday's of the month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and now on the Wednesday's following the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
 

WOW Scrapbooking

WOW Scrapbooking is held on the last Monday of every month from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.  It is open to anyone and not just limited to WOW attendees.  The group meets in the church's activity room with lots of room to spread out.  Everyone brings their own supplies, but there is always sharing of ideas and some supplies when necessary.  Participants bring a snack and drink.  For more information contact Kelli Fund at kellifund@yahoo.com.

4 X 4 Groups

A 4 x 4 is a small-group concept designed to plug new members and families into the Grace Community Church family.  Couples and singles get together once a month for a meal for 4 months (8-10 people per group).  There is an opportunity to host one month.  The host family prepares the meat dish and drinks, the other couples bring dessert, salad, veggies and bread.  While most groups meet in individual homes, some groups like to meet at the church (check with the church office for availability) or at a restaurant.  The host family or group leader provides a short devotional discussion after the meal.  Everyone has a great time of fellowship.

New groups start soon, so sign up today at the 4 x 4 table in the church foyer and you will be assigned a group.  For more information, contact Diane Williams at (785) 828-4284.
