Honor Cards will be on sale through December 19 in the Gathering Space. As of this writing, we have cards from Greensboro Urban Ministry, Habitat for Humanity, Sanctuary House, Piedmont Land Conservancy, and A Simple Gesture. Please note - you must bring exact cash or a check made out to each individual organization. There is a $5 minimum on all the cards.
News from Presbyterian Women- This year the PW will be collecting money to help the Rahimi family as they settle into their new life here in Greensboro. You can join us as we share the joy of the season by donating at a Circle meeting or by placing your check/cash in the Sunday offering plate. Please place your cash in an envelope labeled PW Christmas Project or write it on your check. It is a good way to share the love and caring of GPPC with new members of our community.
The 2022 Lord's Table Flower Chart is now posted on the Worship board in the main hall. Please sign up to place flowers on the Lord's Table in memory or honor of your loved ones and friends. Be sure to check all the desired boxes. Thank you for beautifying our worship space on Sundays.
