GPCS Secondary Chapel also benefits by having special guests. The students have been blessed by missionaries sharing their experiences in other countries of the world. Sometimes, Christian music artists or bands share their message in their music (The Wrecking, Galilee Baptist Worship Team, etc.). Maine as a number of Christian summer camp leaders who have come as well (Marcus Corey of Moose River Outpost). Southcoast Community Church often has mission teams visiting Maine and the church shares them with GPCS!
GPCS appreciates the Christian community- their prayers, their willingness to come and speak at Chapel, etc. |
