upcoming events

TOMORROW, Sunday, Feb. 21, is the picnic at Freestone Park (Lindsay between Guadalupe and Elliot) after church for G2 and their families. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, because there will be football, frisbee, and other active games! Bring your own lunch and any fun games for a large group.
This Friday, February 26, 7-11 PM, is a party at the McCormicks! There will be a bonfire, games, and adult supervision. :) Parents are welcome as well. Please bring pop and a snack to share. Call 480-243-4069 with any questions.
Feel free to bring friends to either of these casual G2 events.
Also coming up on Saturday, March 13 from 8:30-11:30 AM, G2 will be serving food to the homeless or families in need at St. Vincent de Paul, in the Wayne Unruh Dining Room. The address is 67 W. Broadway Road, Mesa, AZ, 85210 (Broadway and Macdonald, between Mesa Dr. and Country Club). We may also have an opportunity to hand out tracts and share the Gospel with those we serve - this is completely voluntary and will most likely occur after 11:30.

chili cook out details

Here are the details on the chili cookout this Saturday, Feb. 13, at 6 PM at church. Besides the presentation and consumption of the chili, we will be playing games and basically just having a fun hang-out fellowship time. As far as what to bring, please bring any toppings you want for your caregroup's chili, except for cheese and fritos, which the church will provide. Also, feel free to bring friends as always! See you there!

we want YOUR thoughts!

Hey everybody! First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has been serving G2 in set-up, tear-down, creative team, band, food, and everything else! The church has felt so fun, looked so nice, and had such good food, and it couldn't have happened without YOU! Thanks also to Mr. Payne who has done an amazing job on making the messages clear and Biblical! Speaking of which, if you would like to download them, they are available on the iTunes podcast for our church. Go to http://sovgracechurch.com/resources.html and click iTunes. They are under G2: LOVE.
Second, we are hoping to make this blog more interactive, so please check back every day or two and comment any thoughts. Right now, we are especially looking for 1) discussions on the messages, 2) ideas for G2 fundraisers for Together 2010, and 3) what you would like to see on the G2 blog (for example, we have had requests for, and are working on, getting up videos/slideshows from the Christmas banquet and the Feb. meeting). Any and all thoughts are welcome on the blog, or you can email Mr. Payne or me (Emily Bell). Thanks so much!

serving

Just a quick thanks to all who have served in the last few G2 service events, at the Sunrise Senior Center and Child Crisis Center. There have been many comments on how much the seniors and staff appreciate it. Please remember to keep them in your prayers. The next G2 service event is at the Child Crisis Center on Saturday, February 20, from 2:30-3:30 pm. YOU MUST BE 16+ TO SERVE. We will be doing crafts and games with the 4-7 year-olds. Again, the address is 604 W 9th Street, Mesa, AZ, and you can email Mr. Salinas at bac1570@cox.net with questions or to sign up. Thanks again for your hearts to serve!
