Men's Firepit Nights | All men are invited to the Williams' home for an evening around the firepit. No advance notice is needed, come as you are. There will be plenty of cigars, but BYO beverages. There is no agenda. Just the men of G+P hanging out and enjoying each other's fellowship. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Matt Williams. Time: 7:30-9:30pm. Future Dates: 11/20, 12/12, 1/16, 2/10, 3/13

Angel Tree | We are partnering with Mt. Zion Baptist’s criminal justice ministry and Angel Tree to establish relationships with families in our neighborhood and nearby who have a loved one who is incarcerated. There are multiple ways to help share support and love for these families and invite them into the life of our church on an ongoing basis. If you’re interested in helping in any way, please contact Charissa Stowers.

Sunday, November 17th | Angel Tree will be set up in the foyer. Take an angel and purchase the gift for that child or caretaker. You must return the gift to the church by 12/1.
Saturday, December 14, 1pm-4pm | Help host Angel Tree gift distribution party at Mt. Zion Baptist (welcome families, run games, serve snacks, etc)

Church Decorating | Let's continue the tradition of decorating the inside and outside of the church building for Christmas! This will be happening on Saturday, November 30th at 1:00pm and is a family friendly event.

Advent Wreath Making | Sunday, December 1st will be our annual Advent wreath making event in the gym during the hospitality hour after worship. It will be limited to one wreath per household, and we are asking for a suggested donation of $15. We will have wreaths, clippings, candles, and everything you need available for you to create. If you still have your wreath from years past, please consider bringing it with you to add new greenery to! If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura Perez.

Men’s Brunch | Men, join us for our last morning brunch of the year on Saturday, December 7th, 10:00-11:30am. The goal is to enjoy one another and participate in a guided, topical spiritual conversation as one small way to assist one another in our growth toward spiritual maturity. You can sign up HERE.

Lessons & Carols | Advent is approaching, and one way we celebrate that together is with our annual Lessons and Carols service! Mark your calendars for this year's service on December 8th at 10:45am in the sanctuary. It will include carols and readings all to the end of rejoicing in the prophecy and the coming of Christ, as well as our usual worship elements like communion. It's a great service to invite your friends to! It's a family service, so no Grapes and Peas, but it will be an engaging service for all. Join us for a robust holiday hospitality in the gym after.
