Welcome to the Garden City Community Church,
an “Open & Affirming” congregation
of the United Church of Christ.
No matter who you are,
or where you are on life’s journey,
you are welcome here.
Every week we collect food and school supplies for the LICC Food Pantry located in Freeport.
The INN is asking for plastic bags. Please put them in the INN bin.
Donations can be left in the food bins at the Whitehall and Kensington doors.
Plans are already underway for VBS 2013: Circus Spectacular, June 24-27, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We have lots of new curriculum ideas, and experiential learning activities connected with our four scripture-based themes of the week. Our second VBS planning committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2nd in the Kensington Room at 7:30 p.m. All adults and youth are encouraged to attend. We still need teachers for kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, as well captains for recreation, drama, arts & crafts, and music. We also need other adults to assist with our special camp activities, like baking, tending to the community garden, and our VBS service project. Please come to the meeting to share all ideas. If you are unable to attend, but are interested in helping, please contact Paula at churchschool@gardencitycommunitychurch.org. Registration forms will be available on the Whitehall Desk.
Please join your Church family from Thursday August 15th to Sunday August 18th at Camp Echo Lake in Warrensburg, NY. This family retreat will be packed with exciting adventure for the whole family. At the camp you will find an Olympic size pool, tennis & basketball courts, a rock climbing wall plus more. Enjoy boating and kayaking on the calm lake or enjoy a scenic hike on one of the many trails. Each day the children and youth will enjoy exciting age-appropriate activities while enjoying the freedom to be themselves. Moms and dads will have the chance to get away from the hassles of daily life and just relax in a peaceful, welcoming place. Several families have already signed up for what is sure to be a wonderful long weekend away — will your family be the next to join in the fun? Registration forms are located on the Whitehall desk, we look forward to seeing you there!
Our Sunday Fellowship Hours are sponsored by church members. You pick your Sunday, bring in a treat to share and we provide the coffee and other beverages. You could also make a $30.00 donation instead of bringing in the treat. You will receive a reminder call the week before your date. Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board behind the Whitehall desk.
