WHO ARE THE GROAN UPS?
Anyone who wants to join! Generally, a Groan Up of CCPC is a person who is fifty-five years of age or older but there is no rule to that affect!

ARE ALL GROAN UPS RETIRED?
Many are, many are not. This group is diverse!

WHEN DO THEY MEET?
Monthly, except for May, July and August. The meetings are usually on the third Sunday of each month.

WHAT DO THEY DO?
Groan Ups sponsor many planned activities throughout the year and a covered dish luncheon takes place every other month or so at the church, after the 11:00 am Service of Worship. Everyone brings their favorite dish to share.

WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES DO THEY SPONSOR?
Groan Ups take lots of group trips. Past outings locally include trips to plays at local theaters; to museums; on the DART train and the infamous Tarantula Train; to the Fort Worth Stockyards; to the Arboretum for Dallas Blooms; and to the Japanese Botanical Gardens. Long distance trips are also sponsored, such as the Bush Library in College Station.

There are special events throughout the year, such as the Annual Shrimp Boil and the Christmas Party. They also enjoy going out for dining experiences at a variety of local restaurants.

WHY JOIN?
If you are a new member of CCPC, or are just not familiar with the Groan Ups, do not infer from the lighthearted name that members of the group can’t walk or move about freely without moaning and groaning….nothing could be further from the truth. The group consists of more than 125 vibrant and fun-loving "Senior" members of CCPC.

Although this group was initially formed to assist the seniors of CCPC, Groan Ups has become a valuable service to CCPC and are considered a dynamic and integral part of the congregation.

 

Join Groan Ups and participate in the fun! Contact the church office at info@canyoncreekpres.org or (972)238-8103 for further details about upcoming events.
