Whats' Happening at GUMC

Easter Choir
Similar to what we did with the Christmas Choir, we are going to have a special Easter Choir this year as well. It will practice for a few weeks and hopefully sing twice. Once on Palm Sunday and again on Easter Sunday. It was great having so many people sing with us on Christmas Eve and it would be awesome if we could pack the choir loft again. All are welcome to sing with us!  Exact practice dates will be announced soon, but the plan is to rehearse on Sunday mornings beginning sometime in March.  Please consider joining us. More details will be announced soon. 

Church Moving to One Service In March
Mark your calendars! Starting on March 9th, we will move to one worship service at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary. Members of the Worship Advisory Group are working with Pastor Harlen to craft a liturgy embracing the best of both our traditional and contemporary worship services and to update the sanctuary space to be more flexible, bright, and inviting. The group welcomes your continued feedback and prayers. For a full list of WAGers see the church newsletter or CrossPoints emails.
