CGS Weekly: March 28, 2021 |
|
Our in-person worship service will be at 10:30am in the sanctuary this Sunday, March 28. 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.

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. There will also be Communion at this service, and we anticipate attendance to be lower than our Easter Sunday service with Communion. RSVP here for the in-person Good Friday service. In addition, we will 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 on Sunday mornings. 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.

Medical Community Email List |
|
Did you know that we have an email list for our CGS Medical Community, where we periodically send out info with events of interest and general encouragement for Christians in healthcare? If you’re a healthcare professional of any kind and aren’t receiving these emails, please contact Liz Stoioff and she will add you to the list.
PS. Check out these beautiful spring cupcakes that were part of the healthcare workers' appreciation lunch we co-hosted with Chapel Hill Bible Church, Christ the King Church, and Triangle Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship a couple weeks ago. In addition to promoting events like the healthcare workers' appreciation lunch in our general weekly communications, we will send reminders to our medical community email list.
