ChatGPC

This week we chat with Nicole Larson, GPC's own Office Manager. She spent her summer vacation working in Hazard Kentucky, restoring homes that had been damaged by last year's catastrophic flooding. Her story is inspiring for what she has to say about service and sacrifice for the good of others.

In this episode of ChatGPC, we have a conversation with Casey Nolan, a GPC deacon and one of our dedicated YCW teachers. She recounts her personal battle with anxiety, and how she found peace and gratitude through the loss of her mother to Covid. We are blessed to have Casey in the GPC community.

Katie is one of GPC's youth members. She's been active in the life of the church for her whole life and has memories to share of her time in Young Children in Worship, The Christmas pageant, and more recently her leadership roles in Youth Sunday. We're proud to call Katie one of our own.

This week we hear from Pat Newcomer, who just turned 91 last month (July, 2023). She moved here from Ohio, answering the call of the U.S. government for skilled workers. Here career took her from a short stint working for the Navy, to a 32 year career with NASA where her service saw her through from the very beginnings of the Space program through the Space Shuttle. One of the very first things she did upon arriving in DC was open the phone book to look for a church, trying out Georgetown Presbyterian Church because it was on her bus route to work. She never looked at another church, joining the choir just a month after her first visit.

On our second episode of ChatGPC, we hear from Rick Del Sontro. He has a story to tell, of persevering through struggle, of finding community, and being guided by his faith in his work, and life.

In the debut episode of ChatGPC, we hear from Emma Marshall. Emma was baptized at the Georgetown Presbyterian Church and grew up within its wall, attending Sunday School, planning mission trips and serving in various capacities through the years. Her service to the church culminated with a stint as office manager during the Covid pandemic during which time she applied and was accepted for the Masters Degree program in Divinity at the Princeton Theological Seminary. In this episode she shares her story and her thoughts and insights into the role of the church in the world, both what it is, and what it could be.

In this preview episode of ChatGPC, host Mark Willey introduces the podcast and gives a preview of what's to come.
