Grace Weekly

We are here for you and would love to pray with you! The Lord has commanded us to place our anxieties upon Him (Philippians 4:6-7) and together, bring one anothers' concerns before Him (James 5:16).  Our prayer partners will be waiting to help carry your burdens to the heart of God in prayer with you, right after service. Come on up to the front of the Worship Center, by the stage and someone will be there to meet you. It is our desire to help you trust God with your life's details, and not to feel alone.

The death of a spouse brings to us a unique kind of pain. Join us THIS Wednesday, August 21 at 6:30pm in D22I if you have lost your spouse and discover reasons for hope and ideas for healing. There’s no cost to attend.  Questions? Contact Lilium at x153 or  lilium.jones@gracebaptist.org

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
A few weeks ago we gave out a card that listed ways for us to be intentional and involved this summer for the sake of the Gospel. We want to highlight one of those suggestions and encourage each Grace family to pursue having a meal with someone in our community who doesn’t know Christ. All throughout Christ’s ministry, we see Him eating and drinking with others, sharing Himself with those who did not truly know Him. Meals give us a chance to share life, hope, and truth with those around us. Let’s be faithful right where God has placed us to build relationships and spread Gospel hope!If you feel stuck in your evangelism or have a story to share with us, email: outreach@gracebaptist.org
