Message from Missy Moxley as of 1/22/2021

Message from Missy Moxley as of 1/14/2021
The book club will be reading through Chapter 12 for next Wednesday, 1/20/21.
Message from Missy Moxley as of 1/7/2021
The book club chose Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate as our next reading selection. "This novel is based on one of the most notorious scandals in American history. This was the real-life story of how Georgia Tann used her position as the director of an adoption orgnization in Memphis to kidnap and sell poor children to rich families all over the United States. Lisa Wingate’s novel Before We Were Yours is a wrenching yet uplifting tale about the many paths life can lead to and how the heart never forgets where it really belongs."
We will be reading through Chapter 6 and meet via Zoom next Wednesday at 7pm for discussion. Please forward this information to anyone else who you think might be interested (this group is opened to everyone, not just our church congregation).
Here is the recurring Zoom link for Wednesday's meeting, which is also on our church website, grucc.com, and Facebook page.

Simon Peter—an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call.

Adults
The adult Sunday School class meets every Sunday morning from 9:45 to 10:45 and all are welcome, so don't feel shy - we have a very friendly, accepting group.
Youth/Teens
Our Youth Class (for grades 6-12) meets on the 2nd floor in the outer office area at 9:45 on Sunday mornings during the school year.
Children
Our elementary-aged kids have their own "mini-Church" during the second part of our 11:00 worship service. We use a curriculum called DeepBlue (www.deepbluekids.com), which incorporates Bible lessons, crafts, songs and other fun activities. Each Sunday, all elementary school kids (K-5) are invited to join us as we leave the Sanctuary after the children's sermon. (Our nursery is available year-round during the entire worship service for children 5 years and younger.)
For the grown-ups: We are always happy to have additional volunteers to help lead our Children's Church using a pre-planned, easy-to-use curriculum. Teachers will take turns on a rotating basis and NOT serve more than once a month. Please help with this amazing new way to reach our kids and make a real difference in their lives! Please speak with Pastor Rob or Jean Barrick to help.
Upper Room Devotionals
Devotional booklets are available in the Narthex for anyone who would like a resource for daily prayer. There are regular and large-print versions, and there is no cost for the booklets, although donations are gladly accepted.
