Events:                                                                  Updated 7/15/10

SUMMER PICNICS: Our mid-week summer picnics continue this Wednesday. Set up is at 5:30 p.m. We eat at 6:00. Meat and beverages are provided. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. This is a great opportunity to invite friends, co-workers, neighbors and relatives to an informal time of eating and sharing with your church family.

RETREAT FOLLOW-UP – ‘Deeper’ Discussion Groups follow the Wednesday summer picnics as a follow-up to the recent "Going Deeper With God" retreat. Everyone is invited to attend even if you were not at the retreat or don’t come for the picnic. The discussion and prayer groups will start at 7:15pm. We are continuing to discuss questions from the retreat material. Suggestions for discussion questions for later weeks may be submitted on Connection Cards or given to an Elder. Please see insert for this Wednesday’s questions.

SUMMER FOOD DRIVE: Area food banks are currently very much in need of food. So the Deacons are sponsoring another food drive again this summer at GCC. Please bring a bag or two of non-perishable food items to the church any Sunday morning or Wed evening picnic through 11 August and one of the Deacons will see that it is delivered to an area food bank throughout the summer. Some food banks will take produce. If you have extra in your garden that you would like to share please contact Patti Wagner and she will see that it gets delivered.

SANCTUARY FLOWERS: During these summer months, the congregation is invited to share flowers from their gardens to beautify the Sanctuary on Sunday mornings. Please sign up on the flower chart located in the Fellowship Hall next to the kitchen door. If you would like a note in the bulletin signifying a special celebration or memorial, let Michelle know by the previous Tuesday. Questions? see Hilary Cutts.

WORK PROJECTS: The trustees have established a form, which may be used to request authorization to pursue a project, which would be funded, from the capital or maintenance funds. It requires a brief description of the project, approximate cost, completion schedule, and the party who would accomplish the work. This form is on the clipboard hanging on the end of the mailboxes in the fellowship hall. It may also be used to alert the trustees to a situation on the property that needs Trustee attention/action.

COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENING on Thursday, July 29, 2010 here at G.C.C. from 8:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you are interesting in a Health Evaluation please call 1-800-679-5192 and provide source code ISC-5603. Appointments are necessary and there is a cost depending on which screening you would like.

SCRIPTURE SAYS: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; All who follow His precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise.   -  Psalm 111:10
