Each of these choirs will participate in Sunday morning worship services (approximately every 4-6 weeks).

Please contact Pastor Chris Mellon with any questions about these or any other aspect of our Worship Arts Ministries: cmellon@gbclancaster.org

We are once again partnering with Samaritan's Purse to send GOOD NEWS and GREAT JOY to children in need around the world.Because every child needs Christ, Samaritan’s Purse sends Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts to boys and girls living in major cities, dense jungles, arid deserts, war zones, on remote islands, and along lofty mountain ranges. We work closely with local teams to bring these special gifts to children in need—even to hard-to-reach areas where there are few believers or where many have long been hostile to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Shoebox gifts are a means to meeting physical and spiritual needs.

More information and free resources (including fillable shoeboxes) are available at the display in the Lobby. The last day to drop off shoeboxes at Grace Baptist Church is Sunday, November 23.

If you are unable to fill boxes yourself, donations may also be made to help cover the cost of shipping ($10.00 per box). Checks should be made payable to “Samaritan’s Purse” with “Operation Christmas Child” in the memo line and may be submitted via the church office. Please do NOT place these monies in the offering boxes.
