During months with a fifth Sunday (starting October 30th) we will have a combined Sunday School gathering in the MAC during the 11 o'clock hour. All classes and ages are invited to attend. These "lightly organized" gatherings will serve as a fellowship time for our GCBC folks to get to know each other better.

- A six week short course will be offered during the Sunday School hour beginning September 18th. The topic will be Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, with the discussion to be led by Chris White. Youth and adults are all welcome to attend (especially teachers who need a break!!).

During GCBC children and youth activities on Sunday afternoons a small group time for parents will be held. Details are still being worked out, but all parents of children and youth are welcome to participate.
