Please bear with us while we make some exciting online changes!
For those who don't have Facebook to view the livestream you can now simply go to - azgpcmedia.org/gpc-live-on-facebook
In order to make this much needed change, we will now need to livestream from our GPC Facebook page "Gilbert Presbyterian Church" and NOT from our GPC Facebook group "Gilbert Presbyterian Church's Activities Page!" which is actually a public group. (The website plugins to make this happen only work with pages not groups).
So...
If you want to see this Sunday's livestreamed sermon without Facebook, go to azgpcmedia.org/gpc-live-on-facebook
If you want to see this Sunday's livestreamed sermon via Facebook, go to www.facebook.com/azGPC

If you want to see any older archived sermons (2018 and older), then go to azgpcmedia.org

Over the course of a few days we will be moving office equipment, supplies, books, desks, pews, chairs, etc. from the sanctuary building to the CE Building.
Would you be able to give a few hours during the week to help us out? We also have a need for boxes and tape.

"I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." - John 3: 5-8
With the Advent/Christmas/Epiphany season coming to an end, you are invited to help us "undecorate" the sanctuary this Sunday, January 7 at 5:00. Many hands make light work, so it shouldn't take long and pizza will be available with heartfelt gratitude for your assistance. Hope to see you then!
STAY LATE...COME EARLY! Sunday, November 5, GPC is hosting a get-acquainted fellowship coffee for members, both new and long-standing. If you attend the 830 service plan to stay a while after worship and get to know someone from the 1100 service you have never met! If you attend the 1100 service, come early (close to 10!) and spend some time with an early worshipper! We are all ONE in Christ Jesus! Let's act like it!!
Come join the fun this Sunday night!!
I really wish I knew what is going on on Sunday night. I am using voice over on my iPhone, and it doesn't read a photo copy or picture, so… Maybe you could write it?
Pastor Terry is looking for folks who could read John 3:16 in a language other than English on this coming Pentecost Sunday. We would like to have as many "tongues" as possible. If you could help us out in either service, please respond with your language and service you will be attending. (We may not use everyone, depending on the number of responses we get.) Thanks in advance for your willingness to help us make our Pentecost service exciting and meaningful! And remember: WEAR RED!
