What’s Happening Week of May 17

Welcome from the Senior Pastor Welcome to GSCC! We pray that as you join us today you will feel welcomed, valued and cared for. May can be a very busy month with Mother’s Day, graduations and summer preparations being made for camps, VBS, and children being home for summer break. In the midst of the busyness of May, I want to invite you to experience an AMAYZING month with us as we continue the series entitled AMAYZING.. I want to invite you to continue to connect with us here at GSCC in the weeks to come as we discover AMAYZING Freedom and AMAYZING Grace.

Welcome to GSCC’s AMAYZING May! Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed.
