Pick Up Your Letter Sunday

Our fiscal year ended June 30th and though we praise the Lord that we ended the fiscal year as a total ministry (church, daycare and school) with our heads above water, it was a difficult enough year that we have very little left in reserves which puts us in a very tight position financially as a ministry.  The Elder Board has put together a letter informing the church of our current financial condition and outlining steps we are taking as a result.  This letter will be available (one per family) this Sunday at the church office window in the lobby.  We ask that someone from each of your families stops by and picks up a copy of this letter so that you can pray more specifically for the finances of our ministry.

 

Read, Baby, Read!

Our Prayer Challenge for July as part of our Year of Prayer is to see everyone who is part of Grace Ministries read a book on prayer.  Hopefully you are well into your book.  I would love to have you e-mail me (skdistler@meetgrace.org) and share with me how God is using this prayer challenge and the book you are reading in youre life.

 

Final Week For Christmas

Every year, the Grace Church Family presents all of our supported missionaries serving around the globe and here in North America with a monetary Christmas gift.  In years past, we have always done this project towards the later part of the year which makes it difficult to forward the gift to our missionaries in time for Christmas.  So this year we are moving up this Missionary Christmas Gift project and are having what we are calling "Christmas in July"!  This week will be the final Sunday that you can give to this project.

 

Selflessness In Prayer

This Sunday we will conclude our current message series that we are calling "Heroes of Prayer" by looking at Solomon from 1 Kings 3 and the need for selflessness in our prayer lives.  Beginning in August will be our Old Testament Survivor message series beginning with the story of David and the giant named Goliath!

 

Special Video Sunday

At the end of this Sunday's message we will be showing a special video from the Central African Republic made specifically for our church.  This video will be a powerful exclamation point to our theme that morning which is the need for selflessness in our prayers.

 

Encourage Our Youth

Please reserve next Sunday night, August 1st, for our Youth Led Communion and Baptismal Service here at the church.  Our teens will be leading us in this special night of worship and we would like to encourage them with a large attendance that evening.
