Family Fellowship Night | Wednesdays
Every Wednesday at 6:00pm we will have Family Fellowship Night. We will eat dinner together and then break off into various discipleship groups: KidsQuest (Children’s Ministry), Refresh (Student Ministries) and Conversations (Adult Ministry).
What did Jesus mean when he told his disciples, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21) What does it mean to live the Sent life Jesus calls his disciples to? We will be going through a book called “Sent – Living A Life that Invites Others to Jesus” by Heather and A. Holleman.

Community Garden Volunteers
Community Garden Volunteers – For the last two years, GEPC has maintained a garden near the Shelter hoping to attract members of the community. While we haven’t gained much traction outside the church, we have had some use within our congregation. Outreach Team is looking for anyone who could Plant, Weed, Water or Harvest normal garden crops. If you want your own space, we will subdivide for you. If you only Plant, that’s OK. If you want to get out the hoe and remove the unwanted growth, you can do that. You may even want your Sunday School class or Small Group to keep up a corner of the plot. Contact Mark Lancaster, 816.560.9933 or mark@mlancaster.us if any of these ideas might bear fruit in your spring and summer plans! Thank you!
