Are you or someone you know dealing with grief? Join us on Sunday, October 5 at 2:00 PM in Room 101 for GriefShare. GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. Ray Cobb and Beth Murphy will be leading this class. Contact the office if you have questions.

On the first Thursday of every month, beginning October 2 at 6:30 pm, join us as we grow closer to one another and to Christ through fellowship, study, and prayer! This fall, we will practice different spiritual disciplines as we reflect on and pray the names of God. Contact Pastor Molly for more information.

We’re starting a collection of hygiene items for the older students at Fayetteville Street Elementary beginning this Sunday. The most-needed items include deodorant for young men and women, feminine products (sanitary pads) for young girls, body wash, and hand sanitizer.

You can drop off donations in the collection box at TGC. If you prefer to give financially, you may contribute online by selecting the FSES fund, and we will purchase the items on your behalf.

Please be sure to bring or submit your donations by Sunday, October 5. Contact the church office with questions. 

Join us on a fall mission trip to Boone, NC, October 23-25. We will work with and be housed through Baptists on Mission and World Renew.

TGC's Community Rise Against Hunger campaign, will be held on October 11 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm in the Family Life Center.  Donations will purchase meals that will be packaged at the event.  We will partner with other local churches to pack as many meals as we can purchase. Each meal kit feeds 6 people and costs $0.42. We would like to purchase as many meals as we can and your donations can help us make a difference! Let’s help kids around the world be well fed and ready to make a difference in their communities. TGC will collect donations throughout the rest of June and July. Please make checks payable to TGC and earmark donation to “Rise Against Hunger” and you can also donate online or volunteer by visiting our RAH team page below.
