Ring-ring-ring—God Is Calling You.  Our next term of office for GBC leaders begins in May and we need “a few good men and women” to step up.  Remember “Step Up” is one of our calls to action.  Step up whenever you can in your neighborhood or workplace to show God’s love.  Step up if you are called to fill one of these roles. Jesus called 12. We need 12.  Also needed are additions to our Sunday morning sound team.
