Operation Christmas Joy Details
Keli Judd will be sharing her family’s favorite recipes for turkey leftovers. Come sample them and get some ideas for the coming holidays. We would love to have you bring your favorite leftover recipe, too, as well as a friend.
Please note: because of the Annual Ornament Exchange on Dec 7, this will be the last M&M Monday meeting of the year. Also, we are looking for ladies to help be a part of leading more events for 2015! If you are interested, email Keli.
Jim and Debbie Carroll will be sharing highlights from their trip to visit our missionaries in Southeast Asia. Join them in their home as they share how they were able to serve, and learn how you can better pray for the people to whom they minster. To RSVP contact the church office 925-676-1584.
For this ladies-only event at 7 pm, invite a friend, bring a snack, and meet us at Louise Botelho’s home for a fun evening of games and fellowship. For more information contact the church office 925-676-1584.
The first Sunday in November is recognized as Orphan Sunday. For those who have RSVP’d, the GBC PURE ministry will host a luncheon in the Fellowship Hall at 1pm to provide the opportunity to share about the PURE ministry and all the ways to get involved as well as hear about the recent ministry trip to Guatemala. See you there!
Look for Marie Perri in the courtyard this Sunday as she shares with us a creative way to spread the gospel with those in our community in need. Marie will be providing some ready-made “blessing bags” to obtain for a suggested donation of $5/bag. If you are interested in making your own, instructions, Bibles, and gospel literature for your bags are available by request. Contact the church office at (925) 676-1584. If you would like to donate to the ministry, please place your donation in the weekly offering, or send to the church office and indicate “Blessing Bag Ministry”.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” – Matthew 25:35
Partner with us again this fall as we collect gifts to donate to Samaritan’s Purse to reach children worldwide with the good news of God’s love and the meaning of Christmas! We will be collecting donations in the courtyard November 2 and 9.

The Women of Grace have begun a new ministry of monthly prayer for every woman who regularly attends GBC. If you would like more information or to be a part of this ministry, please contact Keli Judd or Jane Hawksworth.
Consider participating with us! The Meals Ministry is a great way to care for families of GBC when a need comes along. If you enjoy cooking and would be interested in ministering to others this way, please contact Kathi Wihlon.
We need a few more volunteers to keep the bookstore open on Sundays during the Fall. Please stop by the bookstore or call the church office (925) 676-1584 for more information.
