Dear Gaston Christian Dads and Granddads,

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoyed your Christmas vacation. The purpose of this email is to invite you to a new Bible study I will be starting in a few weeks. First I want to thank Julie Denham for the outstanding job she is doing leading two women’s Bible studies and also organizing several events for mothers and grandmothers throughout the year.

Several years ago I started a Bible study on Thursday mornings at 6:30. We have gone through several books together and regularly have 12-15 men in attendance. There have been many fathers that have expressed a desire to be in a Bible study but the 6:30 doesn’t work in their schedules. Now that a few of our major construction projects are complete, my time and schedule will allow me to organize and lead another study, if we have enough fathers who would like to participate.

I would like to invite you to join me for this Bible study series that will begin on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. The study will begin at 8:00 AM each Tuesday and typically lasts about an hour.  For many dads that will allow you to drop off the kids, come to the SLC, get a cup of coffee, and be ready to go at 8:00!

We will be studying the life of David through a book by Chuck Swindoll.  The title is “David: A Man of Passion and Destiny”.  You can either get the book online or let me know, I have several copies and they are $10.00 each.

If you are interested in being part of this study, please email my assistant, Lindsay Lockett ([email protected]), and also let her know if you would like us to get a book for you.  My hope and prayer is that this will be a time of digging deeper into the life of a great leader, but also a time of building friendships with fellow dads at GCS.

Rich blessings,

Dr. Marc Stout

Head of School
