Feb 24 Sun  Bach & Handel ~ The Twain Who Never Met Billye Brown Youmans, soprano Join us for a fun concert featuring the music of George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach. These world famous composers were both born in 1685, approximately 80 miles apart, yet never met one another. Their monumental contributions to the world of music continue to influence composers today. The program includes the Overture to the opera Tolomeo, arranged for solo harpsichord. Sometime during the year 1707, while Handel was in his 20’s studying in Italy he composed the solo vocal Cantata, Nell dolce dell’oblio (In sweet sleep’s oblivion), a dramatic work for soprano. Also on the program will be the sonata, Sonata in C minor, HWV 386a. The music of Bach will include the Suite for Unaccompanied Cello in G Major, BWV 1008, the Sinfonia and aria Seufzer, Tränen, Kummer, Not (Sighs, Tears, Anguish, Trouble), from Cantata BWV 21, and the joyful aria from Cantata BWV 69, Mein Gläubiges Herze (My Faithful Heart). Free and open to the public Feb 25 Mon  March 22-24 Join us for our women’s retreat in Kitty Hawk, NC, featuring guest speaker Christy Wimber. Christy is a nationally known pastor, speaker and author who is passionate about helping grow the body of Christ. This year’s theme: “When Life Rocks Your Boat…Dealing With Change”. Details available in the Fellowship Hall between services or learn more and register. Registration deadline is February 25th Mar 5 Tue  Red Cross Blood Drive is scheduled for Tuesday, March 5th, from 2 pm to 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall. This is a great way to serve our community. There is currently no substitute for donated blood for blood transfusions. Since less than 10 percent of the US population donates blood each year, and there is a constant need for accident victims, cancer patients and others, donating is giving a precious gift. The Red Cross separates the blood after donation into red cells, platelets, and plasma – so each donation can touch up to three lives. Signups will be in the Fellowship Hall between services or register online. Mar 6 Wed  GBPC is hosting an 18-hour prayer vigil on Wed March 6 th – Ash Wednesday, from 6am – 12am to start off our Lenten season, as we prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate the 40 days leading up to Easter.

The sign-up list is on line via VOMO and is listed under the section “church campaigns” and is notated as the “Ash Wednesday Prayer Vigil”.
