Wow!  We had another God-blessed Sunday at Grace this past week!  We started the morning off with a great Sunday School, baptism, awesome worship, (almost 300 in attendance) and a Spirit-filled invitation!  We had two come forward confessing salvation and desiring to be baptized…with a total of 12 joining our church family!  This past Wed. night, our church was literally overflowing with kiddos and students… God is good!!

We also had a huge announcement this past Sunday!

Because God has been blessing us in such a HUGE way at Grace with more and more people coming…we are beyond capacity!

So we are making room for you with a new, identical worship service!

New Sunday schedule starts May 6th!
Worship // 8-9
Sunday School // 9:15-10:15
Worship // 10:30-11:30

Please note the new worship times and make plans to invite your friends and family to join us!  (I have spoken with some of you that have had folks that you wanted to bring to Grace, but couldn’t because of overcrowding…now, you can!) I want to encourage you to take advantage of the “early” service if at all possible to help relieve the crowding in the “late” service.

I want to personally thank all of you who have been so gracious by sitting in the overflow room (or in the hallway and foyer sometimes!) and making room for our guests.  Your kindness and hospitality have truly made a difference…our guests KNOW that they are welcome here!

Please be in prayer for our new service times, that God would use them (and all of us) in a mighty way!

Welcome the newest members of our church family!

Graduate Recognition Sunday is April 29th!

Graduate Sunday (High School & College) is coming up on Sunday, April 29th! We look forward to recognizing and honoring our graduates every year!

Anyone graduating that would like to participate should let the church office or Lisa Plunk know…and please bring (or send through email) a few pics (baby thru graduation) to the church office or give to Lisa Plunk by THIS Sunday, April 22nd.

We are super-excited to be starting our worship service off with two baptisms!  Praise God!

We will also be continuing our sermon series, “Wrong,” where we have been looking at common misinterpretations of Bible verses and looking at what they really mean!

This Sunday we will be looking at Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

We will also be issuing the call for more volunteers to serve at Grace!  As we multiply our worship services, the need for help multiplies as well!  Prayerfully consider serving in the nursery, children’s church, audio-visual, as ushers, greeters, or security.  We have awesome people serving in these areas now…but, we want everyone to serve someone!

At Grace, our mission is to reach West Tennessee, America, and the World for Jesus Christ!

Our strategy is simple and life-changing:

• To boldly share the love of Jesus
• To love irrationally
• To give extravagantly
• To serve people faithfully
• and do it again and again and again!

You can make a difference right here at Grace!

Pray for our services this week…that God would be glorified and that people would be changed forever!

Now is the time to share Jesus!
