Promotion Sunday | August 2 The Pond Early Childhood Ministry, HERO Kids Church and The Surge are promoting children by age and grade groups in both services Sunday, August 2nd. Please help us prepare your children by encouraging them in advance for this exciting transition.
Connect Groups | We Need You! Beginning this September, GSCC is presenting an exciting way to help you get Connected! On Wednesday evenings, while fun and life-changing Children’s and Youth ministry takes place here at GSCC, numerous Connect Groups will meet throughout our city. Instead of one large Connect group here at the church, we encourage you to deepen relationships and receive encouragement in a Connect Group! Groups are forming now, and we need your help! If you are willing to lead, co-lead, or host a group on Wednesday or any day of the week, please mark so on a Communication Card and drop it off at any offering container or contact Jaclyn Hinojosa at the church offices. Get ready to go ALL IN & Connect this Fall at GSCC!

Bring the whole family and your lawn chairs for a giant cookout with all kinds of games, sports and giant water slides for all ages! Free burgers and hot dogs will be provided! Please bring a favorite side dish or dessert to share. This is a great chance to have a blast while building and strengthening friendships here at GSCC!
90 Day Tithe Challenge The Bible asks us to give our first and our best back to God, and He will bless the rest. We return to the Lord 10% of what He's given us because it belongs to Him. If you're not tithing already, a great way to start is with the 90-Day Tithe Challenge. Essentially, it's a contract based on the promises of God in Malachi 3:10–11. If you tithe for 90-Days (three months) and God doesn't hold true to His promises of blessings, we will refund 100% of your tithe. Take the Challenge! Fill out the commitment form today!
Operation:Blessing | Back to School Drive Last year’s Back-to-School Drive with Benavides Elementary was a tremendous success! Let’s DO IT AGAIN! There are two easy ways you can make a difference: 1.) Purchase supplies and drop the supplies off in the container located in the lobby by Sunday, August 16th, or 2.) Make a financial contribution in any amount to help purchase school supplies. Please make checks payable to GSCC with “Operation: Blessing” in the memo line and place it in the offering container, or donate online at GSCCConnect.com to “Operation: Blessing.”
Night of Worship | August 26 GSCC would like to invite you to a special Night of Worship Wednesday, August 26th from 6:30–8:00 pm in the Sanctuary as we start up the Fall semester of Connect Groups. This will be an incredible time of worship and prayer that you will not want to miss. HERO Kids will also meet from 6:30 – 8 pm.
Connect Leader Training On Wednesday, July 29, you are invited to a Connect Leader Team Building meeting from 6:30–8:00 pm in Room 100.

Please RSVP so Pastor Beth and Angie can plan accordingly.
