Lots going on this weekend GPC-er’s. We’re looking forward to celebrating the Lord’s Supper together on Sunday, and I want to encourage you to prepare your hearts to receive the sacrament.  The order of worship is copied here.

Tonight is Family Promise of Forsyth County’s CARDBOARD BOX CITY. GPC youth and adults have been collecting pledges and now it’s time to anti-up by sleeping in a cardboard box. We’ll be joined by one of GPC’s worship team who will be providing music at the event tonight. We’re looking forward to it and would like to thank everyone for their support.

This Sunday after worship, the Mission’s Committee will be hosting a SPAGHETTI DINNER immediately following the worship service. Donations will help support the Cherokee Mission Trip. Suggested donation $5 per adult, $3 per youth age 4 and up, $20 family plan. Additional donations are appreciated.

Some of the GPC men will be at the Men’s Retreat this weekend, but if you didn’t go, you’re not left out. MEN’S BREAKFAST is next Saturday, May 2 from 8-9am in the fellowship hall, and KINKLINGS (aka Kernersville Inklings) meets on May 4 at the home of Don Bechtold. See Don for details.

It’s posted on the calendar, but we want to remind you just the same, that a  CONGREGATIONAL MEETING is scheduled for May 31st following the worship service for the purpose of electing officers who are rotating back into office from their sabbaticals.

The most significant of the announcements this week is that we are considering flipping out this summer. What we’re calling THE SUMMER FLIP is a potential change in our summer schedule. Before we finalize and make plans, we need to know your concerns or whether there are serious disadvantages. Beginning June 7 and continuing to August 16, GPC’s worship service would be from 9:30-11:00am each Sunday. At 11, we would have events planned which would be either: social – to which you could invite friends and neighbors, missional-to reach out and serve our community, and familial-something which we can all do together as a church family. This is a great opportunity to freshen things up, to reconnect with one another, and to recommit to reaching Kernersville. If you have any input, the Session needs to know by Friday, May 1st.
