To participate, consider giving coins that represent the age or birthday of a woman who has made an impact on your life: 8 dimes for 8 decades; $1.21 for a December 1 birthday; Or any meaningful amount in her honor
Join us as we combine a beloved GCPC tradition with the Presbyterian Women’s Birthday Offering to celebrate the women who have shaped our lives and support ministries making a difference around the world!

May 17 — Trash Talk: How to Be a Better Recycler — Brandon Hearn

Brandon Hearn will help us sort through the surprisingly complicated world of recycling. If you have ever stood over a bin wondering, “Can this go in there?” or “Am I helping the planet or committing a small plastic felony?” this class is for you. Brandon will offer practical guidance on how to recycle better and more wisely and help us think a little more clearly about everyday stewardship. It should be useful, interesting, and probably more fun than you expected a recycling class could be.
