Sunday's Comin'! - March 5, 2010
Submitted by bill on Fri, 03/05/2010 - 5:43pm|
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I bet I'm not the only one who appreciates the sunshine today which I so often take for granted. What an awesome God who gives us so much! This Sunday, I will be returning to our series from Deuteronomy, "Words of Grace." I'm not sure there is a more powerful passage in all the Old Testament than Deuteronomy 6:4-9. I think it's the greatest help to keep us from going crazy in this crazy world we live in with so much required and expected of us from others and ourselves. It's such a vital word to remind us of what really matters in the blur of life calling out in siren voices that this or that is most important. I really believe God has given us the greatest help in practical living through this passage. Come Sunday and we'll look at it together.
Have a great day!

FAITH PROMISE
I'd like to remind you again that this is the time to turn in your Faith Promise Pledge if you have not already. The sum total of our pledges are the basis for Grace supporting all those in missions here and around the world. It is "Faith" because we pray and ask the Lord what He would have us "promise" from sources we do not see. We are saying, "Lord, if you provide this amount, I will give it to missions." Then throughout the next twelve months we pray and watch the Lord provide resources to further His kingdom. We'd like to do more this year than we did last year. There are several deserving missionaries from Grace who need our support and are not currently receiving support from our church. We have received $84,000 in pledges so far toward our goal of $130,000. Our budget this past year was $120,000. We'd like to be able to increase it this year.

MEN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED |
I would also like to ask men in our church to give a gift to the many female volunteers who make our children's ministry happen every Sunday. I'd like to ask you to volunteer in one of our classrooms Sunday, March 21st, so the regular teachers and helpers can go on our annual Women's Retreat. It will be a great time of refreshment for women in our churches. If you're willing to give yourself to the Lord and our church in this way, please contact Shannon Ratcliffe at 455-9334 or email her at sratcliffe@gracegso.org. Thanks for always stepping up when we need you!
