We have a graded Our Sunday School Program with classes for all ages, from preschoolers through Adult. A portion of our Photo Gallery is of classes in session. We run our Sunday School program concurrent with the school year. With a view to having more time to properly prepare for the morning worship hour, our Sunday School meets at 5:00 PM on the Lord’s Day, 1 hour before evening service. There is no Sunday School on the last Sunday of the month when we have our “Back to Back” services. Every preaching and teaching session of the church is recorded and archived. Tapes are always available immediately after the service in the tape room. The tape rack always contains an inventory of recently delivered messages. Archived messages are available upon request. In our Fellowship area a book rack is maintained of good Christian books available for purchase at a small amount over cost. Our inventory of 40 to 50 books and booklets cover a wide range of issues. God has given the church of Jesus Christ many gifted writers offering insight to both God’s Word and practical Christian living. Our library hosts a number of commentaries, complete commentary sets, systematic theologies, biographies, histories and other resource books as well as good books on practical Christian living. We also have an audio and video section. On the 3rd Saturday of every month the men and boys of all ages join together for breakfast and fellowship at 8:00 AM in the church’s dining area. The social time is followed by a teaching time that includes opportunity for discussion and questions. On the 1st Monday of every month the ladies and girls of the church join together in a home to discuss a Christian book that they have been reading. There is a discussion leader and discussion questions have been provided in advance covering that month’s section of the book. Every Tuesday morning at 6:30 a group of men meet at the church to discuss the next chapter of the book they are currently reading as a group. The study is lead by Pastor John Yoder. Nursing & Retirement Home Ministry On the second Sunday of each month our church provides the leadership for an afternoon worship service at an area nursing home of retirement center. Lay members of the church provide the music, song leading and preaching of the WORD. Several GRBC families participate, usually with 30 or more in attendance from our church including many young people. RYBS (Reformed Youth Bible Study) In the evening of the last Sunday of every month the youth of the church gather at the home of Pastor Tigner for food, fellowship and study. Everyone is encouraged to arrive early. Sandwiches, etc begins at 6:00. A 45 minute study lead by Pastor Tigner begins around 6:45. Everyone is invited to stay around until 9:00 PM. Every threeyears Pastor Huber opens his home to teach an eight-part series on foundational theological issues for high schoolers. |
