Toy Store 2024

The 2024 Toy Store is coming on Thursday, December 5!

SHOP

Each year we host a store for families to come shop for their children (birth-14 years old) at a greatly reduced cost. Help us stock the store by shopping off of our Amazon Wish List (tinyurl.com/bdcn3hvv). If you shop from this list, it will send your purchase directly to the church building. Gifts of your own choosing are welcome as well. Toys/gifts will be collected in the HUB.

SERVE

You can serve at the Toy Store as part of Families on Mission on Wednesday, December 4 when we transform the Fellowship Hall into a welcoming shop. If you would like to help when the store is open on Thursday, December 5, you can sign up for various jobs in the HUB.

SHARE

Help spread the word for families who could benefit from this shopping experience! Register online at georgetownbaptist.org/2024-toy-store-registration.

Trunk or Treat

It's almost here!!!

Trunk or Treat is THIS Sunday, October 20 in the parking lot at the corner of East College and South Hamilton Streets. Come ready to help us judge the best trunk and collect treats!

*For those hosting a trunk, please be in the parking lot by 4 pm. Also, be aware of trick or treaters holding a teal bag to indicate they have food allergies (we'll have some extra non-food goodies to share if you don't have them).

We are so excited to share GBC's Homecoming with you on Sunday, October 13!

That day we will:

-have a combined worship service at 10:30 am in the Worship Center
-celebrate Rev. Ken Holden as our new Pastor Emeritus
-take a church family picture immediately after worship in the Worship Center

No matter if you're here every week or haven't been in a while, we would love to be with you on this special day as we celebrate God's faithfulness in our past and anticipate a joy filled future.

2024 Deacon Nominations

Help us choose our servant leaders in this year’s Deacon Election. This summer we voted to change our election process, so we invite you to prayerfully consider who you would nominate to serve as a deacon. You can find the list of eligible members in the Hub as well as more information about the nomination process.

1: See Who is Eligible
In the Hub you will find a list posted of those GBC members who are eligible to serve as a deacon. These are women and men who are at least 21 years old, active in the life of our church, have been a member for at least a year, and are not currently serving as a deacon.

2: Prayerfully Consider
From this list, prayerfully consider who you would nominate to serve our church. Who is “worthy of respect” (1 Timothy 3:8) and “known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom” (Acts 6:3)? Who do you see serving already? Who might be quietly serving among us?

3: Have a Conversation
After you have identified individual(s) whose gifts of service and leadership you recognize, have a conversation withhim/her. Share why you would like to nominate her/him to serve. Ask if they would be willing to serve our congregation in this way.

4: Officially Nominate
If after consideration and prayer she/he agree to be nominated, please fill out a Deacon Nomination Form. Include your name (nominator), his/her name (nominee), and check that you have received their “yes” to serve if elected. Nominations will be accepted until Sunday, October 27.

Fall Operation Inasmuch

The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." -Matthew 25:40

All ages and abilities are invited to join us for these days of service as we work with some of GBC’s ministry partners. Wednesday, September 18 we will meet in the Fellowship Hall for our monthly Families on Mission with dinner at 5:30 pm and projects at 6:30 pm. On Saturday, September 21 we will gather at 9am in the Fellowship Hall before we scatter to our projects. You can sign up ahead of time for our Saturday projects in the Hub or by clicking here.
