CGS Weekly: April 4, 2021 |
|
We have closed sign-ups for our in-person Easter Sunday service. We look forward to seeing those of you who have already signed up on Sunday morning at 10:30. Don't forget your mask!
As of late afternoon on Friday, there are a very limited number of spots still 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 Tuesday.

CGS NURSERY PLAY ROOMS
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..
