GCC Spotify Channel 
Our church loves to sing the truths of Scripture!  Now you can hear the songs we sing on Sunday via our church Spotify channel.  Share it with friends and family!

Children’s Classes
The first Sunday each month is Family Worship Sunday for children and parents to worship together in the sanctuary.  The remaining Sundays we provide a children's class  (2 years -- Kindergarten). Children can be checked in at the Geist Kids kiosk in the foyer.  A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for  children staying in the sanctuary to engage and participate in the corporate worship gathering.

Core Courses
Core Courses are at 9AM on Sundays.

Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  Where do you most feel the “vanity” of life right now? How does remembering the brevity and repetition of life (1:4-11) challenge the way you prioritize your time and energy?
2.  How should Ecclesiastes 7:13-14 shape the way we view injustice and brokenness in the world? How should it inform the way we share the gospel with unbelievers?
3.  Read Ecclesiastes 5:10-6:7. Why can money and possessions never satisfy our hearts? How will our lives look different if we see these things as gifts from God?
4.  What does it practially mean to “please God” (2:26)? How does pleasing God protect us from despair and indulgence?
5.  How would you describe the book of Ecclesiastes in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope?   (Romans 15:4)
