Ready to cook up some fun? Cokesbury's Food Truck Party Vacation Bible School invites children to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into their neighborhood for the summer's biggest party! This VBS invites children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; "Give us this day our daily bread." These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it's by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met. Learn about the Daily Specials (Daily Learnings), which are lines from the well-loved prayer that teaches us to turn to God to meet our needs. Register your elementary child, youth and adult volunteers, or for the adult study class at Guilford Park Presbyterian Church · My Cokesbury VBS or (https://gppc.mycokesburyvbs.com/)
During the months of June and July, we invite our GPPC congregation to donate items to the SPCA of the Triad. The SPCA of the Triad is a local rescue that has cared for neglected, abandoned, and injured animals right here in our community for 28 years. The SPCA does not receive money from local government agencies, so they rely on donated items to help keep their dog and cat adoption site running smoothly. A wish list of items from retailers such as Amazon, Chewy.com, and Walmart can be found on their website: www.triadspca.org/wish-lists

The Greensboro Opera Company's current production is a special and unusual one, part of an effort to engage the community in new ways called “Opera in Action.” The one-woman show examines the trials and triumphs Black mothers experience as their children come of age in contemporary United States. Each performance will feature a community talkback session immediately following the opera. There are four performance times being offered at four different locations across Greensboro and one of them is at Guilford Park on June 24 at 1 p.m. in our Fellowship Hall. This opera is sponsored and produced by Greensboro Opera Company, not GPPC, and it is a ticketed event. See the bulletin board for more information.
