GCF E-Bulletin for Friday, November 21, 2025
Wednesday Meetings Canceled: Due to Thanksgiving the following day, none of our Wednesday meetings (Bible studies/youth group) will be meeting on the 26th.
Children’s Christmas Choir: On December 21st, we will have a special performance from the youth at GCF (preschool-5th grade). During a portion of children’s church, in the weeks leading up to the performance (November 30, December 7, December 14), they will practice the songs. If your child would like to join the choir and doesn’t typically attend Children’s Church, they will need to do so during those three weeks. Sign up HERE - we need all kids who will be a part of the choir to be signed up! Those who wish to audition for a solo should prepare to sing the first verse of “The First Noel.”
Youth Group & YJAM Registration: If your student attends GCF’s youth group and/or YJAM, please ensure they are registered for the current school year. If you haven’t done so already, here are the links to register your students: Youth Group & YJAM.
