Welcome

We welcome you here at Grace Church. We are eager to get to know you and share with you the ways God is working in our Church. Our purpose as we gather is to focus on God. "That with one accord you may with one voice glorify God." (Romans 15:6) This focus comes as we strive to know Him through His Word, the Bible. As we study His Word we grow in our individual faith and teach each other how to serve and to share our faith with those who desperately need to know Him. Welcome to this adventure as God leads us on!

• New Adult Bible Fellowship - "Don't Waste Your Life"  by John Piper will go through the summer during the second service.
• New Service and Sunday School arrangement starting this fall:  We will be moving back to having Sunday School and ABF in between the services beginning in September 2008.  1st Service will start at 8:15. SS/ABF will start at 9:30.  2nd Service will start at 11:00.  This is best for our body.  However, this is not an easy step; Christ often calls us to take the more difficult path.  We are committed to following our Lord and taking the harder path when needed.  In this case the body will be asked to work harder especially in the ministry of Nursery.  We will need more staff for the Nursery.
• SuperMoms - are in need of some SUPER help!  During our meeting time,  we want to provide the best possible care for our SuperKids.  Would you prayerfully consider helping in this vital area of our mom's ministry?  We are  in immediate need of a handful of people, willing to teach and care for the SuperKids on Monday mornings, allowing our moms to relax and enjoy some much needed fellowship time.  Please contact Denise Erway (413) 498-2020 or Edi Swearingen (603) 499-4145 for more information.
