GCC Spotify Channel 
Our church loves to sing the truths of Scripture!  Now you can hear the songs we sing on Sunday via our church Spotify channel.  Share it with friends and family!

Children’s Classes
The first Sunday each month is Family Worship Sunday for children and parents to worship together in the sanctuary.  The remaining Sundays we provide a children's class  (2 years -- Kindergarten). Children can be checked in at the Geist Kids kiosk in the foyer.  A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for  children staying in the sanctuary to engage and participate in the corporate worship gathering.

Core Courses
Core Courses are at 9AM on Sundays.

• Rooted in Christ: Studying the book of Colossians
• Digging Deeper: Studying the Scripture being preached Sunday

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  What is providence? What are some examples of it elsewhere in the Bible?
2.  Why ought God’s providence spur us to action rather than make us apathetic? Why should “fasting” be a part of how we approach taking action? How can you incorporate “fasting” into your life in the next couple of weeks?
3.  Why would God reveal to us a doctrine like providence we can’t fully understand? How have you seen God providentially humble you in the past and how can you walk humbly before Him going forward?
4.  Looking back at your life, share and celebrate how you’ve seen God providentially order things for your good and His glory.
5. What would you say the book of Esther is about in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope?   (Romans 15:4)
