The Present Word, 9:30 am, Room 206
hybrid, studying the “Spring Curriculum”
The Present Word is an in-depth, six-year Bible study that focuses on a specific theme each quarter. Designed through an ecumenical collaboration, it brings together participants from multiple denominations to explore the same passages together — fostering a shared, serious engagement with Scripture and its relevance to our world today.
This March through May, the curriculum focuses on the Social Teachings of the Church, examining social issues that faithful Christians confronted in the early 1900s. Their experiences offer a meaningful lens for considering how the church brings Christ to bear on those same enduring challenges in our own day.
Contact office@gpchurch.org for the Zoom link.
The Bible as a Whole, 9:30 am, Room 205
Feasting on the Word follows the Revised Common Lectionary… it invites people into the rhythm of the church year…it explores the what, where, so what and now what of each biblical passage through a variety of learning and teaching styles.

Christian Women Fellowship
Join the VIPS for lunch and a program the first Thursday of the month. Gathering begins at 11:30, with the program starting at noon. Field trips to local areas of interest are offered from time to time, in addition to their monthly meetings.
Other than Sunday morning worship, VIPS meetings are the largest and most welcoming gatherings in the church. VIPS excel in maintaining contact with and caring for one another, are creative in the variety of programs and outings offered, and enjoy a “favorite people” status with members of the Youth Group. The VIPS are also the most outreach-oriented and service-minded group in the church, second only to the Community Engagement ministry, making consistent, generous donations to the various missions of GPC.
