The Lord is doing amazing things in and through Grace Church! 2014 was a year that we can look back and celebrate this FACT! I want to take a moment and share some highlights:
1) 25 people decided to follow Jesus
2) 7 people decided to be baptized
3) 25 people decided to become members of Grace Church
4) Our average worship was 130-140
5) We had 10 Connection Groups (small groups)
6) Kids Hope USA Kicked off at Beanie Elementary (8 children are being mentored)
7) We served thousands of meals on Monday’s and Wednesday’s
This is worth CELEBRATING! God continues to grow and stretch us in a couple equipping ministries that we refocused and started. Here is a sample:
1) Refocused the Discovery CLASSes by going back to the numerical system (101-501)
2) Added CLASS 501: Discovering Lifestyle Worship
3) Started hosting Financial Peace University (FPU)
This may seem a lot, but I want to encourage and challenge everyone to stay connected in the following ways as we head into 2015:
1) Commit to attend worship on Sunday’s (9:30am and 11:30am)
2) Commit to getting connected in a Connection Group
3) Commit to serve in a ministry
4) Commit to inviting others with you in all the above
5) Commit to finishing the Discovery CLASS
6) Commit to attend FPU when it is scheduled
I know the Lord will not only bless you, but use you in ways that is far beyond your imagination by just taking several small steps. In the next day or so, I will also be posting what the Lord is directing us in 2015. These are super exciting times at Grace Church! I am confident that the Lord will increase the numbers below as we commit to expanding HIS Kingdom.
