CGS Weekly: March 21, 2021 |
|
Our in-person worship service will be at 10:30am in the sanctuary this Sunday, March 21. If you have not already signed up to attend the in-person worship service, you may do so here. Don't forget to bring your mask.
We currently have a limited number of spots available for the nursery playrooms. View details and availability here.
For those of you who will be worshipping virtually, the livestream will be available here at 10:30am. If you're unable to tune in live, you may access a recording of the service at the same link after the conclusion of the live service.
In an effort to limit handouts as much as possible, we will not be distributing a printed bulletin at the in-person service on Sunday. You may access the digital bulletin for this week's service here.
We will be providing special materials in packets for your kids during the service. Please bring along your favorite coloring utensils (crayons, washable markers, pencils) to use.
As a reminder, you may give to CGS online here. (If you have questions, you may reference this online giving tutorial here.) You may also mail a check to the church (3741 Garrett Rd, Durham, NC 27707) if you prefer.
This week's Sermon Discussion Guide will be sent to community group leaders on Sunday, and posted here on Monday.

Meal at Durham Rescue Mission This Sunday |

This Sunday (March 21), CGS is responsible for providing lunch at the Durham Rescue Mission men’s campus. We fed around 300 last month, so your continued help is greatly appreciated. It's not too late to sign up to help with this month's meal, and you may do so here. Dropping off dishes in the main kitchen the morning of the meal between 9:30-10:45am remains the same. Thank you for your generous support of this ministry.

We will be having a Good Friday service on Friday, April 2 at 12:00pm in the sanctuary. Capacity for the in-person service is 175, and RSVP is required. The sign-up link will be available Tuesday morning on www.cgsonline.org under the “Good Friday Service” tile on the homepage. We will also be live-streaming this service for those who prefer to watch online.

As a reminder, we have opened up a limited number of rooms in the CGS nursery for families with children ages 2 & under to use during the in-person service, beginning this Sunday, March 21. There will be NO CGS volunteers staffing these rooms, so one parent is required to stay with the child for the duration of the service. Reservations are required, and slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We will place the nursery play room sign-ups on the same page as the in-person worship service sign-ups each week. If you have questions, please contact RiLee Robeson.
