Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We’ve come to that time again. We have an elder who will rotate off in December and we will need to nominate an elder to take their place. A link will be sent to the church listserv or you can use a paper document at the church to make your nomination! We will have the ordination and installation in January.

The Unseen Realm: Rediscovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible
We are four weeks into studying The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser. This book is a fascinating look through the Old Testament into the New Testament at the supernatural beings with whom we coexist in the universe and how this cosmic battle for supremacy is already won through the blood of Jesus. Study guides are available in the “Bible Study and Sermon Notes” section of the website and videos are linked here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPd9DOTrRaPwBAr2TGEehO9lGixeY3Ait.
Our study sessions are conducted over ZOOM. Register in advance for the meetings here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0lduCgpzsjHtfEfIaQjNfhYnTKxJHGFzZQ
Hope to see you there! God bless and thanks!
THANK YOU GRACE!
I did not know what I was walking into in 2013. I knew Grace was an awesome place but never knew that I would someday be its Pastor. I didn’t see that one coming. Here we are almost eight years later and God is still doing amazing things. I want to take this moment to personally thank you all for your generosity towards the church. As of the end of the year, we are more than $4,000 over our projected budget for 2020. We could not do that without your support and your love. I’d also like to thank you for your patience and your understanding during this pandemic. I do believe that we have grown more being away from one another physically. Now, we long to see each other and we do not take time for granted. I’m thankful that we haven’t let politics or peer pressure divide us. Please continue to pray for the health and vitality of the church. May God bless you all!
New Bible Study Series Coming Soon!
On January 21st, we will begin studying The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser. This book is a fascinating look through the Old Testament into the New Testament at the supernatural beings with whom we coexist in the universe. Study guides will be made available. Study sessions will be conducted over ZOOM.
