Last Week at Grace

This past week we had a God-sized Sunday at Grace!

We are super-excited for all of the first-time guests (and returning guest) that God has been sending our way!  We are so grateful for all of those who are making it “official” and joining our church family.  We had 195 in worship this past Sunday!  Pray for opportunities to invite your friends and family so they can be a part of what God is doing right here at Grace!  Who are you inviting this week?

Please make welcome the latest “official” members of our Grace Baptist Family:

This Week at Grace

This Sunday we will be continuing our sermon series, “Not Like Them” from 1 Peter.  We have been looking at God’s calling upon our lives as God’s people.  Please begin now praying for our worship services as well as our Sunday School classes.  (One of the most effective ways to get someone to start Sunday School is if YOU invite them!)  Ask God to move in a mighty way, right here at Grace…prepare your heart and have great expectations!

This Saturday, Jerry and Sharon Miles will be moving…and they need our help!  They have everything packed up but need help getting it loaded.  If you could help them it would be greatly appreciated.  They will start at 8:30 a.m.  You can find their address in the church directory. (I don’t want to put their address here)  If you don’t have their address and would like to help, email the church.  Please pray for them as they make this transition and that God would greatly bless them.  We will miss them dearly.

Coming Up

Mark your calendars now!!

This is going to be an awesome night for our children and our community as we reach out by providing a safe place for families to come and have a great time of fellowship.  There will be carnival rides, jumpers, games, food, and candy, candy, candy!

But we need your help!

First-pray!  Pray that God will use this for His glory as we reach out to our community!

Second-Bring candy!  We need candy donations…we will have more families and children this year than ever before…please help us by providing candy.  You can bring your candy to church and live it in the storage room to the left of the sanctuary next to the nursery.

Third-Help!  We are going to need everyone to pitch in and help make this event a huge success!  There will be a sign-up sheet in the foyer.

Next Wed. Night is our fellowship meal from 5-6:30.  I was blessed to be able to pay for 11 meals at our last fellowship meal!  Now I want to challenge you to do the same thing…invite someone to join you next week…and pay for their meal!  Wednesdays are special at Grace and it’s a shame for anyone to miss it!

I can’t wait to see what God has planned for us in the days ahead!  Our mission statement: Reaching West Tennessee, America, and the World for Jesus Christ!  It starts here and now!  Pray-witness-invite!

Now is the time to share Jesus!
