Youth Gun Raffle: The youth are raffling off tickets for a brand new Sig Saur P365XL 9mm w/ Red Dot (1st prize) and a .22 Revolver (2nd prize) to help fundraise for camp. Tickets are $20 each, or 6 for $100. You may use cash, check, or card. You can purchase tickets from any of the youth going to camp, or from Tyler directly. Pictures of the guns and additional information are on the flyer by Tyler's office in the Fellowship Hall.
SheepDog Need Looking to the future at our new, larger campus, as well as for our current needs, we are looking to add more volunteers to our Sheepdog list. This monitoring position serves on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School, and corporate worship hour with duties consisting of visually monitoring and checking church building entrances, and our parking lot. Church membership is not required but for all interested persons who call GCC their home, a background check will be performed. Please see Mike Hall, or Dennis Fowler for more information.
Spotify GCC has a Spotify account playlist with over 4 hours of music that includes many songs regularly sung in corporate worship at GCC. While this list includes several songwriters we value, it is not meant as endorsement or theological alignment with any particular groups but rather song versions that somewhat align to how we sing corporately. Please click here to add the GCC playlist to your Spotify library.
Sermon Audio Update: Live Sermons are no longer streamed on Facebook but on our website directly. Go to “TEACHING” and then click on “LIVE SERMONS” if you are away on Sunday mornings. Additionally, our sermons and Sunday school lessons for 2024 are uploaded on a platform called “Sermon Audio”. You can find our church by searching “Grace Covenant Church Weatherford” at: www.sermonaudio.com You can also download their app for your phone. Please reach out to Tyler for any questions or help.
Gospel Tracts: In the bookstore we have placed the gospel tract ‘What is the Gospel’ by Greg Gilbert. This is a free resource so please take several with you to aid in your gospel sharing with family, friends, and neighbors, then come back for some more once you have handed out all of these. Our hope and desire is to provide these as a continual free resource to you all to support your evangelism efforts.
GCC t-shirts are now available in the foyer, the cost per shirt is $10.
Gluten free wafers for Communion are now available in the foyer for those that need them.
Men’s prayer will be this Friday @ 6am at the building, and will be every Friday thereafter.
Ultimate Frisbee Come join us for some ultimate frisbee fun on Saturday mornings at 9am at Cartright Park (at the soccer complex, near Sunshine lake) in Weatherford. We are there most Saturday mornings. Ultimate Frisbee is a fast moving and fun game with 2 teams, where you pass the disc to your teammates to advance it down the field. All skill levels are welcome – even if you have never heard of it. We are very patient with new players. Just come for the exercise and fun! Contact Tim Long at 661-433-5613 (phone) or at tcclong@yahoo.com (email) for more information.
Pickleball Come out to play some pickleball at Love Street park every Sunday at 4pm. This invitation is open to everyone, including whole families. Whether you are an experienced player or have never played and want to learn, please join us. Contact Jacob Kindberg if you have any questions.
Lost and Found There is a lost and found section at the end of the hallway of the kids Sunday School classrooms. We have a growing collection of toys, Bibles, water and coffee jugs, dishes, etc. If you think you left something in the building, please check this lost and found area. Whatever doesn’t get reclaimed will be donated to the church or manna at the end of this month.
