And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

(Galatians 4:6)

 

 

Dear Members and Friends of Grace,

 

Greetings in the name of our heavenly Father! Here is what’s happening in the life of our church:

 

 

Wednesday, January 11^th:

 

 

-         The Wednesday evening prayer meeting will meet at the Johnsons’ house at 7:00 p.m. All singles are welcome to come for dinner at 6:00 p.m. Just give us a call to let us know you’re coming over! Our number is 321-6151.

 

-         Right after the prayer meeting, there will be an envelope stuffing party in order to prepare another batch of mailings that will be sent to those who have recently moved into the area. As a further incentive to stay and help stuff envelopes, ice cream will be provided!

 

Saturday, January 14^th:

 

-         The Women’s Bible study will meet at the Johnsons’ house at 8:30 a.m. Call Marilyn Doerfel (364-0830) or Robyn Johnson (321-6151) for more details.

 

-         The Men’s prayer breakfast will meet at the church at 8:00 a.m. Contact me for more information (321-5220).

 

-         The session will meet at the church immediately following the men’s prayer breakfast.

 

 

This coming Lord’s Day, January 15^th:

 

-         Our adult Sunday School class will continue its study of Edmund Clowney’s book, “Living in Christ’s Church.” This Sunday’s topic will be, “The Church and the Kingdom.”

 

-         At the morning service, I will preach from Genesis 6:9 – 7:10. The message will be, “The Faith of Noah.”

 

-         Immediately following the morning service, there will be a soup meal. And following that, we will begin our annual congregational meeting. One especially important matter will be the consideration and election of John Mantooth for the office of ruling elder. John will be glad to answer any questions you might have for him with regards to his prospective service as an elder.

 

-         The evening service will meet at 6:00 p.m. We’ll watch and discuss the next segment in R. C. Sproul’s video series, “What is Reformed Theology?”

 

 

Foreign Missions news:

 

-         The Tricarico family have been OPC missionaries in Uganda for about a year now. I think you’ll enjoy their latest dispatch from the field: Ngakiro Kosi (“Our News”).

 

 

Website update:

 

-         Grace’s website has been updated to include sermons and Sunday School lessons up to January 8^th (note: the lessons and messages from December 25^th and January 1^st are not available).

 

 

Eric Pyle’s work with Wycliffe Bible Translators:

 

-         Read Eric’s latest e-mail update concerning his work as a software developer for Wycliffe.

 

 

Opportunities for service:

 

-         If you would like to volunteer to clean the church for the months of January, February, or April, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the narthex of the church.

 

 

 

In Christ,

Pastor Scott
