9 am           Worship in the Great Room

10 am         Education and Fellowship

11 am        Worship in the Sanctuary

Worship at 9 am is in the Great Room and is led musically by our band.  The style is less formal than the 11 am service.  The 11 am service is in the Sanctuary and is led musically by our choirs.  The style is more traditional.

Sunday morning, November 11, is different. We share breakfast and celebrate Grace’s ministries together at 10 am in the Great Room. The first worship service is at 9 am, and the second service starts at 11:15 am instead of 11 am.

We have Sunday School for people of all ages on Sundays: November 4, 18, and 25.

  • Love and Logic – Meets in Room 103

Cindy Dethloff and Jennifer Snook team up to lead another Love and Logic class. The Love and Logic philosophy can fit any relationship, and the focus of this class is on parenting.  Love and Logic helps parents raise self-confident, motivated children who are motivated for the real world.

  • Happy? What is it and How to Find It – Room 101

Happy? What It Is and How to Find It by Matt Miofsky answers the question of how we can find lasting happiness in our lives. The book defines what happiness looks like according to the Bible and then describes ways that we can achieve happiness through relationships, a forgiving lifestyle, living in the present, feeling gratitude, and learning to release control.

Matt Miofsky explores these concepts through some unexpected biblical texts, but his basic theology is sound: it is only when we turn to God that we will find lasting happiness.

The class meets for four weeks.  A book is available for purchase for $10.  The book enhances the classes, but it is not required.

Tuesday, November 6, is Election Day, and Grace is an election site. We expect large numbers of people to be in and out of our building that day.

We need your help. We hope to have volunteers here to offer coffee and directions to the bathroom to those who come here to vote.  When lines get long you’ll help us keep the lines funneled in the right direction.

Can you help?

Volunteer shifts are for one hour, on the half hour, starting at 7:30 am and going until 7:30 pm.  Call the church office, 684-5215, to sign-up.

 

Help Put the Pieces Back Together

The 2016 Louisiana flood was the worst natural disaster to hit the United States since super storm Sandy, and we are just now adding up the cost of devastation that Hurricanes Florence and Michael did to the southeast portion of our country.  Unprecedented levels of rainfall destroyed more than homes, businesses, and schools from these storms. In 2017, statistics showed just one storm, Hurricane Harvey, caused widespread damage in Texas that was unparalleled; 77 people were killed, hundreds of thousands of homes were damaged, thousands were temporarily displaced, and 33 Texas counties declared a federal disaster. Many victims are poor families and most did not have flood insurance.

We can help put back the pieces. Support Grace’s cause at this year’s Alternative Gift Market.
