GCF E-Bulletin for Friday, August 14, 2026
Sunday Morning Bible Study: Due to a God’s Garden Teacher/Helper meeting the same morning, the Sunday Morning Bible Study will not meet this Sunday, August 16th.
Youth Group: The youth group’s summer schedule has wrapped up for the year. The first regular meeting will be on Wednesday, September 2nd (6:30-8:30 pm) at the church. We'll share more details about the upcoming school year next week.
Picture Directory: Final call for photos!!! If you would like to be included in the new picture directory, please send a horizontal digital photo of your household to secretary@gcfchurch.net. We will crop pictures to best show people’s faces (5:4 ratio). Please submit your family pictures by THIS SUNDAY so we can be ready for printing by the end of August.
A list of who has submitted a photo will be posted in the lobby on Sunday. Feel free to check there to make sure we have your photo!
It will be attached to our normal church directory, so please ensure your family’s information is included (if you need to be added to our normal church directory). Fill out our contact information form to update your contact info.
This doesn’t need to be professional (most submitted pictures are not). A smartphone and someone to take your picture is all you need. Ask someone at church to take your picture!

To ensure you do receive important emails from the church, please make sure to add secretary@gcfchurch.net to your contact list and mark it as “not spam”.
