Easter Service This Sunday, April 8, 10:45AM
 
Love Rolled the Stone Away

 

I want to remind you that Easter Sunday is this Sunday!

 

Remember that THERE WILL BE A UNIFIED SERVICE STARTING AT 10:45AM. There will be no Sunday School at 9:45am. The Sunday Night service will be at 6pm as normal.

 

Please invite your friends and family members that are unsaved or without a church home. This is an opportune time to reach them for Christ!

 

Also, please be in prayer for our Choir, our Kids of Praise Ministry as well as for our Drama teams as they prepare to present the wonderful news of a Risen Savior in the Easter Cantata, "Love Rolled The Stone Away!"

 

Every member of GPBC is not only encouraged to attend this great service, but prayerfully invite somebody to be your guest!

 

Phillips Brooks wrote the following encouraging words about our resurrected Savior:

 

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer; 

Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right;
Faith and Hope triumphant say,
Christ arose on Easter Day.
 

Thank God, "Love Rolled the Stone Away!"

 

See you Sunday!

 

God bless you!

The Sheepfold is Now OPEN

     

We are excited to announce that the Nursery Remodel project is just about complete, and the "Sheepfold" is now OPEN!

 

Thank you to everyone who had a part with giving through the Dream Fund to finance this major remodeling project, as well as the many, many hours of labor that went into the project. Last week, dozens of volunteers put the finishing touches on the project with painting, installing trim work and cleaning not only the nursery project, but also a thorough "Spring Cleaning" of the entire church building.

 

God Bless You for your labor of love for the House of God.
