🩶💛 WE’RE CELEBRATING OUR FIRST FAMILY! 💛🩶

There are moments when we have to pause from the work, the ministry, and the everyday responsibilities and simply say…

“WE APPRECIATE YOU!” 🙏🏽✨

On Sunday, September 20th at 10:45 AM, we’re coming together for a special Pastor & First Family Appreciation Celebration! 🎉

This is our opportunity to celebrate a family who has answered the call, embraced the assignment, and remained committed to serving God’s Kingdom and His people.

💛 CALLED
🩶 CHOSEN
💛 COMMITTED

📖 Matthew 5:16 reminds us:

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

And on September 20th… WE’RE GOING TO LET THEIR LIGHT SHINE! ✨🔥

Church family, DON’T JUST HEAR ABOUT IT — BE IN THE HOUSE!

Bring your family.
Bring your friends.
Bring your praise.
Bring your LOVE. ❤️

What. A. Week!! 🙌🔥

Vacation Bible School at GECOP was nothing short of AMAZING! We laughed, we learned, we worshipped, we created memories, and most importantly-we grew in the Word of God together!

Seeing our children excited to learn about Jesus, our volunteers pouring into every lesson, and our church family coming together to make it all happen is what GECOP is all about. The energy was high, the love was real, and God's presence was felt all week long!

To every volunteer, teacher, parent, youth leader, kitchen helper, and supporter-THANK YOU! Your commitment and servant's heart helped make this year's VBS a tremendous success. Because of you, seeds were planted that will continue to grow for years to come.

This is more than church...this is FAMILY. ❤️ We don't just gather-we grow together, serve together, and celebrate together!

If you missed this year's VBS, don't worry-we're just getting started. Stay connected because there's always something exciting happening at GECOP!
