Easter Message by Pastor Craig: Sunday, April 12, 2020

Here is a link to today’s Easter message by Pastor Craig, “An Empty Tomb and an Empty Room” with worship music and reflections by Nan.

As part of the service we will take up an offering.  In the video service I’ve provided three ways to give an offering:
1.  Use your envelopes by sending a check.  If you don’t have an offering envelope you can send to our address:
Grace Communion Monrovia, PO Box 1714; Monrovia, CA  91017
2.  Text to give at our GCM number 626-400-5457 (it will walk you through some steps to set up an account)
3.  Click on the “Give” tab above.
These last two options require a credit card.
I hope you enjoy the service, and have a Transformed Week.
Warmest,
Pastor Craig
