March 31, 2024 - Easter Sunday
11:00am Worship
Our celebration of Christ's resurrection will take place in the GPPC Sanctuary. It will include the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. As an expression of our communion with people around the world, we will also participate in the One Great Hour of Sharing offering. Additional information on the offering and how to give follow below.
Special Offering - One Great Hour of Sharing
Through four church-wide Special Offerings throughout the year, Presbyterians share Christ's love with millions of people around the world. We encourage every member to give to these offerings that connect us to God's work and change lives.
One Great Hour of Sharing is received each Easter, and serves the "least of these" among us by feeding the hungry, empowering the oppressed, and by providing relief to those affected by catastrophic events. To give directly to OGHS, click here. To give to GPPC, click here.
