Announcements
Advent The elders would like to announce our Advent sermon series in the Book of Ruth reflecting on God's zeal for advancing His redemptive plan, and the first advent of Jesus Christ. You are encouraged to begin reading this short book in preparation, as well as to be in prayer for the elders in their study.
Missional Team Needs We are looking for a few more men to place GCC signage before Sunday School. Adding a few more men will increase serving in this ministry to once every 6-8 weeks. Membership is not required to serve on this team. Please make contact with Dennis Fowler for more information.
Teleios The November dates of our Teleios Bible studies for young adults (18-25 yo) will be on Sundays November 24th at 6:30 pm at the Bishop’s home. If you have any questions, just let Brandon or Jill know!
Resting Month For the month of December, we are taking a month of strategic rest for the purpose of passionate ministry. Therefore, our weekly ministries (Sunday School, Care Groups, Bible Study meetings, etc.) except corporate Sunday Worship, will take a break. We pray this time is filled with rest and fellowship with one another.
Women of Grace! We are so excited to announce our annual Christmas party on Wednesday, December 4th! It will be at The Peach on Main St. in Weatherford from 6:30-8:30pm. We will be doing a cookie exchange and an ornament swap. If you want to participate, please bring 2 dozen cookies (1 dozen to contribute to dessert, 1 dozen for the cookie exchange) and a wrapped ornament. There will be food and refreshments but no childcare provided. Dress in festive attire. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
All Extended Session volunteers, old and new are asked to join us at 9:45 on the morning of Sunday, December 8th for a training and appreciation breakfast.
Youthsgiving Potluck: Sunday, December 8th, from 6:30-8:30pm at the Oxner’s house! Wear an ugly Christmas sweater and bring your favorite Thanksgiving side dish or dessert! We’ll smoke the turkey. Please contact Tyler or the Oxners with any questions.
Bake Sale Save some of that Christmas budget for the Teleios Bake Sale! On Sunday, December 15th Teleios will have a Bake Sale in the foyer to raise money for our upcoming CrossCon trip. Skip breakfast that morning and grab some cookies, cake, and plenty of num nums!!
Manna’s Santas Volunteers Needed for Manna Santas's Helpers! There are a few op-tions to get involved. We have reserved the dates of December 6th & 12th, 10am to 2pm; & December 10 from 4pm to 7pm. to volunteer to help parents shop for gifts and coats for their children. You can work the whole time or a portion of the time. We have flyers posted in the building with info and codes so check those out, you can also click here to make a donation online, or click here for the amazon wishlist! There is a sign up sheet in the foyer if you’d like to volunteer. If you have any questions or need any other information let Diana Odom know.
Spotify GCC has a Spotify account playlist with over 4 hours of music that includes many songs regularly sung in corporate worship at GCC. While this list includes several songwriters we value, it is not meant as endorsement or theological alignment with any particular groups but rather song versions that somewhat align to how we sing corporately. Please click here to add the GCC playlist to your Spotify library.
Gospel Tracts: In the bookstore we have placed the gospel tract ‘What is the Gospel’ by Greg Gilbert. This is a free resource so please take several with you to aid in your gospel sharing with family, friends, and neighbors, then come back for some more once you have handed out all of these. Our hope and desire is to provide these as a continual free resource to you all to support your evangelism efforts.
GCC t-shirts are now available in the foyer, the cost per shirt is $10.
Gluten free wafers for Communion are now available in the foyer for those that need them.
Men’s prayer will be this Friday @ 6am at the building, and will be every Friday thereafter.
Ultimate Frisbee Come join us for some ultimate frisbee fun on Saturday mornings at 9am at Cartright Park (at the soccer complex, near Sunshine lake) in Weatherford. We are there most Saturday mornings. Ultimate Frisbee is a fast moving and fun game with 2 teams, where you pass the disc to your teammates to advance it down the field. All skill levels are welcome – even if you have never heard of it. We are very patient with new players. Just come for the exercise and fun! Contact Tim Long at 661-433-5613 (phone) or at tcclong@yahoo.com (email) for more information.
Pickleball Come out to play some pickleball at Love Street park every Sunday at 4pm. This invitation is open to everyone, including whole families. Whether you are an experienced player or have never played and want to learn, please join us. Contact Jacob Kindberg if you have any questions.
Lost and Found There is a lost and found section at the end of the hallway of the kids Sunday School classrooms. We have a growing collection of toys, Bibles, water and coffee jugs, dishes, etc. If you think you left something in the building, please check this lost and found area. Whatever doesn’t get reclaimed will be donated to the church or manna at the end of this month.
