This summer, Mark
Knox and Larry West, along with a host of parent volunteers held the first ever
Disciple Now program. During this week which was kicked off by a concert with
youth speaker Cooper Ray, the students performed a service project in the
morning returning to GSCC for lunch and catechesis.
The organizations
served included Catholic Charities, Tarrant Area Food Bank, GRACE, Union Gospel Mission, Mission Arlington,
Presbyterian Night Shelter, Dancing Rivers Senior Living, and Habitat for
Humanity. With over 35 teens and 8 adults assisting daily, over 480 service
hours were completed!Thursday, September 13, 2012
The youth of GSCC are playing a larger role than ever in serving their church and their community.
"His Hands and
Feet" service group kicked by helping serve lunch to needy children with
the GRACE Feed Our Kids program. They
will complete at least one service project per month, and will begin a new
partnership with Catholic Charities by devoting one Saturday per month to the
Refugee Program in Fort Worth. The Hands and Feet group also helps serve the
GSCC community's needs throughout the year and helps with the UGM lunch project
and the Sleep-out for Honduras.
