easy and convenient. You can make your

Here’s how it works:

Confirmation Webpage
Parents, this week in Confirmation your students received information and a log-in for the Confirmation webpage (www.hwsstudent.org). Not only does this site have a lot of features that students should enjoy but it also will be a tool to keep you informed of upcoming events and will be the main medium for student make-up work. Please check with your student regarding this information and look for a parents’ letter.
Runway 36 Concert!
There will be no Youth Group this week on Wednesday, October
11th because we’re heading over to
Pledge Forms
If you have not dropped off
your pledge forms yet, there is still time to do so. You can mail your form to the church office,
or complete one of the forms available in the Narthex and place it in the box
provided.
Suggestion
Box
Open communication between congregation
members, church council, committees, and staff is vital to the health of our congregation. Communication helps to hold our church family
together. Your elected leaders feel that
the suggestion box is not as effective at enabling an open dialog of communication
as it was originally intended. And
because of this, we are going to discontinue use of the suggestion box and
focus on improving the direct communication of the congregation and the church
council.
If you have any
ideas or suggestions to help improve things here at GSC, please share them with
one of your elected council members. The
names of the council members, along with a photo and contact information are
posted on the bulletin board in the narthex.
They would be happy to talk with you in-between services or you can give
them a call and talk with them at other times as well. We will also be continuing to look for other
ways that we can improve communication within our church family.
If you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me.
