CITY HOPE SAYS THANK YOU
GCS families,
Thank you for the generous donations to City Hope through the recent hygiene drive. Our guests are so appreciative to be able to get these products, they go quickly off of our shelves. These items allow us to provide a dignified shopping experience to meet our guests’ physical need while sharing the hope of the Gospel! We love partnering with Gilbert Christian to provide help and hope in Jesus’ name!
Mike Juve
Executive Director of City Hope
MOTHER SON EVENT
Join us for our first annual Mother Son Event on Friday, April 4th! This event will be off campus at Pecan Lake Entertainment in Queen Creek. Moms and their sons will be playing mini golf and can choose an additional activity of high ropes course or go karts. Register for the event HERE.
MARCH CONFERENCE MEAL SIGN UP
Spring conferences are on Thursday, March 26th and Friday, March 27th. One of the ways we love to bless our staff is to provide lunch for them on the Thursday of conference week, as our teachers are on campus late that day meeting with families.
We are asking for sub sandwiches, salads & chips/dip. Food will need to be delivered to the front office by 10:00am on Thursday, March 27th. Please bring food in disposable dishes/servingware.
If you are able to help, please sign up here. Thank you in advance for loving our staff in this way.
