It was a sunny day for fellowship. On Sunday, October 16, The Board of Membership Life and Development of Garden City Community Church sponsored an Apple Fest after the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Members were asked to bring their favorite apple dish and everyone got to sample some delicious hot apple cider. The children enjoyed games, making applesauce and apple prints with paint.

Worship services are Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., with church school for children and a crib room for infants and toddlers at the later service.
