Easter Sunday Outdoor Worship, April 4, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.

All of our congregations will be joining us for this service.  Socially distanced chairs will be setup in the parking lot by the Samoan Ministry and there will be space for parking your car if you wish to remain in your car for the service.  Please let us know if you plan to stay in your car so we can plan for enough spaces for your cars.  All other cars are requested to park in the south section of the parking lot or on the street.  Masks will be required for everyone over the age of two.

There will not be any congregational singing however we will have soloists from our different ministry groups and Norberto Guinaldo will be here to play for us.  If anyone would like to volunteer to sing a solo, please contact Janine ASAP, exp@ggumc.net, 714-534-1070, or text 714-767-9082.

We will not have a printed bulletin, we will email an Order of Worship the week before so that you can follow along on your phone or tablet, or print a copy to bring with you.

We will send out updates as we have more information.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again!
