Church is a place of worship, giving thanks and praise to God, receiving life from God's word, celebrating one another and dedicating ourselves in full surrender to Jesus. It's a place of hope and healing. However, Jesus told us to do more than simply gather; He instructed us to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "feed the hungry and clothe the naked".
So to love where we live, on August 15th, observing the CDC minimum recommended social distancing of six feet from others, we will be distributing fresh produce from GCF garden, non-perishable food and school backpacks for children while supplies last.
We will have two types of pick-ups:
Drive-Thru Pickup
Walk-up Pickup
A mask must be worn to pick up items.
We are In The City, For the City.
Donations needed
BACKPACKS
We are collecting money to purchase backpacks and school supplies for kids in need. $10 not only allows you to purchase a back pack, but also some supplies to put in it.
