OTHER NEWS
CREATIVE SENSATIONS: An Exhibit by GPPC Church friend Bob Nordbruch is now on display at Revolution Mill. You may have noticed his beautiful painting of Guilford Park Church in the Gathering Space at GPPC. Some of his paintings, old and new, will be on display until September 19 in the Central Gallery of the Revolution Mill building. Entrances off Revolution Mill Drive are either 1175 (pizza restaurant), 1150 (bakery), or 1100 (salon). There are no stairs if you use the 1175 entrance (maybe though a 150 ' farther walk). Just follow the signs to the central gallery. Click here for more information.
