Sunday Morning Preaching Schedule for November 2015

November 1  

This Sunday is part III of our God calls us to…series. Catherine Neelly Burton preaches as we explore how God calls us to commitment. We’ll focus on Mark 12:38-44. This is also All Saints day, and we will celebrate our Saints and receive communion in both worship services.

November 8 

This is the final Sunday in our series, and we’ll explore how God calls us to celebration. Our scripture for the day is John 1:1-9, 14-18, and Catherine Neelly Burton preaches. Both services will include a time for us to dedicate our pledges for 2016.

November 15 

Joyce Daniel, retired PCUSA pastor and friend of Grace, preaches at both services this day.

November 22 

This is a ONE service Sunday with worship at 10:30 am. Sisters and brothers from the Presbyterian churches in Caldwell, KS, and Chase, KS, will join us for worship. Scott Randle preach. A commission from the Presbytery of Southern Kansas will install Catherine Neelly Burton as the senior pastor at Grace, and we’ll enjoy lunch together in the Great Room following the service.

November 29 

On this first Sunday of Advent we begin our series, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” Catherine Neelly Burton preaches at both services. The scripture for the day is Jeremiah 33:14-16.

Growing in Faith – Join a Group for Five Weeks

Do you want to think about your faith and get to know people at Grace? Join a five-week Sunday morning group starting October 18. Groups meet from 10 am – 10:45 am. There are three groups during this series, and all use the same study materials.

Each group will explore the meaning of salvation using the series For the Life of the World. Read below to see which group is the best fit for you.

For the Life of the World with Cheryl Lyda & Randy Routsong in Room 101

The material is presented in a scaffolding format as we unpack sections of each video in a start-stop-discuss manner, building on learning from previous sections. Dialogue is in both large and small group format.

For the Life of the World with Kelly McFall in Room 103

This group relishes in the post-modern quirks of the series. Instead of trying to understand everything, this group immerses itself in the material, focusing on the experience more than getting to one set answer.

For the Life of the World with Tom Rhoads in The Chapel

This group is large group discussion based with Tom using primarily the Socratic Method. Come and explore the material together.

Refugee Support

As we view news clips of Syrian refugees struggling to reach a safe haven, many of you may be asking “How can I help?”

Grace is currently forming a small group to explore further how we as a congregation can answer God’s clear call to love those strangers among us.

If you would like to be involved in this group please contact Cheryl Lyda. The first meeting for this group is Wednesday, October 14 at 5 pm in the Grace Parlor.
