Beyond Our Doors Community Lunch

On the first Sunday of each month, CGS hosts a community lunch immediately following the 10:15AM service. This is sponsored by the Beyond Our Doors ministry team. If you'd like to get involved, please reach out to Gerard McNeill or call the church office. The BOD team welcomes opportunities to partner with like-minded organizations serving our neighbors in need.
