Activities

We share God's truth in our relationships and welcome the chance to build community with those outside of our church body. We practice compassionate listening, believing the best of one another, seeking common ground, forgiveness and reconciliation in response to differences.

All Church Camp

GPC All Church Camp

April 30 - May 2, 2010

Come Together and Retreat with us!

Every spring for the past several years over 100 people from the GPC community have gathered in the Mountains of San Bernardino to develop relationships, praise and worship God, eat, relax, have fun and grow in our faith. We would love to have you join us!

This is a weekend getaway for ALL people of ALL ages to come together in the pines. Rarely do we get the opportunity to spend extended time with our church friends and family. Relationships with one another and God are deepened and enriched. If you are newer to GPC, this is an awesome way to get to know people better, or may not otherwise spend time on Sundays.

Accommodations for the weekend range from tent camping to staying in a cabin or a motel room nearby. You can come for the whole weekend (one or two nights) or for just Saturday.

Activities available include great teaching, small group discussions, special programs for the kids, good food, games, karaoke, wall climbing with zip line, and paint ball, just to name a few.

Registration on the patio just before and following the Sunday service beginning in March until April 25th. More information is also available on-line at our website at http://gpc-acc.pbwiki.com.

Cooking Ministry

The GPC Deacons are looking to develop our cooking ministry into three parts, and we need your help!

1. Freezer Ministry - This ministry is already up and running! Meals are prepared and stored in the freezer for future needs of individuals in our congregation. By the way, our next cooking day is Sunday, February 21st from 1-3 at the church. If you'd like to help out this time, or would just like to be put on the list for the future, call the church office and leave a message for Cat Bigham.

2. "In a Pinch" Cooking - We would like to collect a list of those who would be willing to "cook in a pinch" - if someone needs a hot meal in the immediate future, you would be willing to prepare a meal at home.

3. Delivery - Don't really cook but would love to deliver some food to a family in our congregation? Sign up to deliver food to families as needed.

Let Cat know if you would be willing to help out in any of the areas listed above. She will be compiling lists of those willing to donate their time to be called upon as needed!

Please call the church office at 818.242.8873 and leave a message with the front desk. Cat Bigham will be contacted.
