Donuts for Dads

This Friday's Donuts For Dads Fellowship coincides with the need for morning volunteer set up work at the Football Field for Homecoming. We're going to hold our Donuts For Dads group down by the field starting around 8:00am Friday October 7. We will have time for fellowship, a short devotion, and then anyone who can stay after to help set up can stay and assist. If you can't stay to assist, no problem, and we'd love to still see you for the fellowship portion. We should be done by 10 or before. Stay and help for the time you have.  

GCS Homecoming 2022 - We Need You!

Last call for volunteers! GRACE Homecoming is all set for Friday, October 7. The Bash begins at 5:30 – giving you plenty of time before our 7 p.m. kick-off to get food at the food trucks or BYOT (bring your own tailgate) and play some games, enjoy the inflatables and connect with one another. Cheer on the Eagles as they take on the Hickory Grove Lions. The King and Queen will be crowned at halftime. Your presence will make this event more special. See you there!

GCS Yearbook Orders & Shout Outs

You can buy your yearbook now and not have to think about it again all year.  Go to jostensyearbooks.com and search for GRACE Christian Raleigh.  Remember that the price increases after January, so getting it early saves money.
 
Additionally, we would love to get some of our Shout Outs in early this year so we aren't scrambling for them in March. Any Shout Outs that come in by December will help us greatly! It could be a great way to prepare for Thanksgiving. Here's a link to the form.
