New Beginnings, GCI’s church in Big Sandy, Texas is known for its service to the community. That service has been recognized formally over the years by the Big Sandy Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. Pictured below are members (with their children, some who have received awards of their own) who have received community service awards in recent years.
Recently, the congregation honored several couples who have been married for more than 25 years, and some for more than 50. As noted in an article in the local newspaper (pictured below, click to enlarge), the congregation is utilizing this substantial marital experience to provide within the community small groups that will serve premarital and recently married couples.
