Grace e-mail bulletin - 8/11/04

E-mail bulletin

August 11, 2004

 

Dear Members and Friends of Grace,

 

Hello to all of you! I trust you’re finding the grace of God sufficient for you this day (2 Cor. 12:9).

 

Please note the following information:

 

  This coming Lord’s Day (8/15):

 

-         Bill Doerfel will instruct the adult Sunday School class from the book of Hebrews, focusing this Sunday on the 2nd chapter. Last time we learned of the superiority and preeminence of Christ over the revelation and religion of the old covenant. I know our faith will be strengthened and our hearts encouraged as we continue to consider the great salvation of which Christ has made us heirs (1:14).

 

-         Questions surrounding marriage and divorce were as pressing in Jesus’ day as they are today. During the morning service, I will preach from Mark 10:1-12. The sermon will be “What God Has Joined Together”.

 

-         We didn’t quite finish our study of Ephesians 1:3-14 last week during the evening service. We will pick up where we left off, focusing on the sealing of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13). During the evening service we also take time for prayer and hymn singing. It is a fitting way to conclude the Lord’s Day, and I encourage all to participate.

 

Saturday, August 14th:

 

-         The Women’s Bible Study will not meet this month. Instead, Faithann Basore is hosting a luncheon at her home on this day for any women interested in discussing the next subject of study for the Women’s Bible study.  The luncheon will begin at 11:00 a.m. Please call Faithann at 206-6075 if you are interested in attending.

 

-         The Men’s prayer breakfast will meet this morning at the church at 7:30 a.m.

 

 

Saturday, August 21st:

 

-         Mark your calendars for Grace Presbyterian’s church picnic to be held this day at the Shaws’ house (the Shaws live right behind the Doerfels). They have a swimming pool so bring your swimsuits! The picnic will begin at 5:00, with dinner at 6:00.

 

Eric Pyle’s work with Wycliffe Bible Translators:

 

-         You can view Eric’s latest newsletter at: http://opcnorman.org/Wycliffe/ericpyle/newsletters/heart_lang_exp_jun04.pdf. Pray that Eric will be able to begin his assignment by the end of the summer. 

 

Other matters:

 

-         There will be a joint hymn sing on the evening of August 29th at New Covenant Bible Church in Oklahoma City. It is an especially edifying time as we join together with other believers and unite our voices in praise to God. Plan on coming for the worship and fellowship.

 

-         Grace Presbyterian will be assisting in the planning and running of the next Oklahoma City Reformed Conference coming up in October (the 29th and 30th). The speaker at this year’s conference will be Jim Elliff, a former pastor and currently president of Christian Communications Worldwide. I volunteered our congregation to help with “Program Overseer Responsibilities”. Here are some ways that you can serve:

 

- Hymn leader

                             - Usher

                             - Setting up and manning the registration table

 

Please let me know if you would be interested in taking on any of these responsibilities.

    

 

 

By his grace,

Pastor Scott
