This year we are inviting our whole church family to come and help decorate the church for Christmas. Adults will be helping put up Christmas decorations around the building, while children participate in an Advent craft. There will be light breakfast snacks served.

Sign up HERE

You can order a Poinsettia that we will use to decorate the Sanctuary for our Christmas Eve services. You may take your plant home after whichever Christmas Eve service you attend. Please visit our table in the lobby between the services on Sundays from November 6 - 27 to order your plant.

Thanksgiving Day is almost here and we are preparing to serve 200 Navy recruits plus community members. There are still a few volunteer and donation slots open - check those out HERE. You can also help by giving a financial donation to help GCC cover the costs of this event HERE or by check/cash on Sundays.

The 28^th annual Jon Callaghan Memorial Turkey Trot is just around the corner, and we need volunteers! The trot is held on Thanksgiving morning, we are looking for volunteers the night before to set up tables, and the morning of to set out refreshments for the participants and help cheer them on! If you are interested, please go to the link HERE and sign up (note that Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving signups are in the same place this year) or contact Cheryl Gribbens HERE

We will be hosting our annual special memorial service with Sambrano Funeral to remember those who have passed away in recent years.

You can attend in person or watch the livestream HERE. All are welcome.

Once again we will be welcoming the Gurnee House of Prayer Church to celebrate Christmas Eve with us at GCC. Services are at 5pm and 7pm and will include a children's message and our traditional lighting of candles as we sing Silent Night.

Please note that there will be no church services on Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25.
