The Bible as a Whole, 9:30 in person, Room 205

The Present Word in an in-depth study of the Bible over a six-year period, focusing on a specific theme each quarter. It is designed by an ecumenical collaborative so the participants in multiple denominations are studying the same passages together, the goals of The Present Word are to engage in a serious study of Scripture in order to discover its deeper meaning and how it is relevant to our world today.

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.

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.
