Refugee Resettlement

August 3, 2022 By GCC Webmaster Leave a Comment

I first became involved in refugee resettlement during the Vietnam war.  As the war was concluding, it became obvious to my husband and I that we needed to take the necessary measures to make possible an exit for a Vietnamese family that had become part of our family by love and choice.  Working under guidance… Read More »

Change

July 20, 2022 By Webmaster Leave a Comment

This weekend I am leading a training experience for our church Council on the subject of “Leading a Congregation in Times of Change.” The very word “change” tends to make us nervous. Change means different than it is right now, and we like things as they are. It is a very human reaction. Change is… Read More »

Sacredness of Life

June 29, 2022 By Webmaster Leave a Comment

“Where were you when…..?”  The answer is driving up Interstate 95 after completing my food shopping task at Ft. Belvoir Commissary. Although I knew that there was a high probability the Supreme Court would rule to void Roe v. Wade, it still felt like a gut punch. Not because my personal past includes an abortion.… Read More »

The Holy Work

June 8, 2022 By Webmaster Leave a Comment

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous quote “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”, seems as appropriate today as it did in 1933. Then the critical issue was the Great Depression and the threat of American banking dissolving. The fears and anxieties were legitimate.  The new President faced a difficult challenge. He needed a change in attitude… Read More »

Hallowed Ground

May 27, 2022 By Webmaster Leave a Comment

Young Thoughts from the Corner of Hillside and Crescent This weekend is one of those “hallowed ground” times for me. Memorial Day has certain traditions, certain memories that go along with it. The flag goes up that day. On Sunday evening I’ll be watching the annual PBS Memorial Day Concert from the Mall and yes,… Read More »

Grace and peace be with you this Eastertide

April 25, 2022 By GCC Webmaster Leave a Comment

Grace and peace be with you this Eastertide. As I look out the window of my office, I see that miraculous transition point between winter and spring.  Some trees are still bare, others are leafing with fresh yellow-green color.  If I look out other windows or walk around the church’s yard, I see the pinks… Read More »

We would be delighted to have you join us for worship in person or virtually. If you are joining us in person, we strongly encourage masks while in the sanctuary and masks are available at the door for those who need them. We do this out of concern for those of our members whose health issues put them at higher risk if exposed to COVID. If you join us for the fellowship time downstairs after the service, masks are optional. Parking is available in our (small) parking lot and along both sides of Hillside Road. To join us on Zoom, please contact the church office during the week to get the Zoom link.
