Sanctuary Flowers Needed

Please help us adorn our beautiful sanctuary on Sundays with fresh floral arrangements which can be dedicated to loved ones. 

After the worship services, the fresh flowers are divided into separate bouquets and delivered by deacons to church members who may be ill or in need of a special gesture of kindness and/or appreciation from the church. We have been able to lower the cost to $75, and the donation envelopes and forms for dedication are located on the Information ledge outside the Fellowship Hall. You can also order Chancel Flowers HERE. Thank you!

Communion Volunteer Teams Needed

Communion Preparation, Communion Servers/Ushers, and Communion Cleanup. Any ordained elder or deacon, whether or not the person is currently serving, may serve communion. In addition

to serving communion, we are in need of volunteers for communion preparation. This involves purchasing bread and juice, preparing the trays, setting the table with cloths and candles (all done on Friday). Lastly, volunteers are needed for communion cleanup after services. Training will be provided for all who volunteer to serve on one of the communion teams. You do not need to be an ordained elder or deacon to volunteer for communion preparation or communion cleanup.

It is truly an honor to serve in such an important and sacred church sacrament–we hope you will consider being part of preparing our sanctuary for communion service the first Sunday of each month. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Elder Bob Wilks at wilksb@verizon.net, (757)373-2446.

Communion Volunteer Teams Needed

The Lord’s Supper for Homebound Members. Both your Session and your Deacons have been trained in the administration of the extension of the Lord’s Supper to homebound members. If you, or someone you are aware of, is homebound and interested in celebrating and participating in the extension of the Lord’s Supper, or if you have been ordained as either a Deacon or Elder and are interested in providing an opportunity for our homebound members to participate in this sign and seal of our communion with Christ, please contact Wayne Stover at Waynerstover@gmail.com or Bob Wilks at wilksb@verizon.net.

The GBPC Garden Ministry volunteers have the spring vegetable garden underway and last week harvested radishes and garlic. They also prepared a raised bed and planted butternut squash and cucumbers. All vegetables grown throughout the summer are delivered to House of Blessing for distribution to the poor and needy.

The Building and Grounds volunteer team is working hard to maintain our beautiful church building and grounds. In the past few weeks, they have cleaned leaves off the roof, replaced gas pipe supports, remounted lightning rods and cleaned out roof drains.

If you would like to join either of these volunteer teams, please contact Mike Boron at (757) 600-7369.

CALLING ALL SMALL GROUP LEADERS:

Hello from your small group facilitators! We are very excited to begin learning about the existing GBPC small groups as we work to continue the growth of this very important ministry. We need your help! Our goal is to learn how to best support existing groups and to grow new groups. As we organize, we want to hear and learn from you what has and hasn’t worked in your small group ministry.

If you are a small group leader (new or veteran) or the contact person for a small group, or if you are interested in starting a new small group, please, please reach out and contact one of us. Once we have compiled an accurate list of the current groups, we will determine the best way to share all your cumulative knowledge and utilize it to be better prepared for the growth the spirit is moving through GBPC. As leaders of small groups, you know firsthand the importance of this ministry to a re-emerging, growing church and its newer members. We look forward to hearing from you. Johanna Jozwiak, jozwiakjoh@gmail.com, 989-430-6766 or Dick Graham, richardwgraham2@outlook.com, 910-612-1135.

Many hands make light work – Adopt a Flower Bed at GBPC! 

We are blessed to have extensive flower beds around the church’s property which require weeding and maintenance.

If you, your family, small group or friends are interested in volunteering to take care of one area, contact Building & Grounds Elder Mike Boron at mboron@cox.net. Thanks!
