Communion Instructions
You do not have to be a member of Grace to participate in communion. All
Christians are invited to come forward, row by row, to participate. Simply take a
wafer, dip it into the cup and partake. If you prefer being served in your chair,
raise your hand at the conclusion of communion and the servers will come to
you. If you are not taking communion today, just remain in your chair.
Prayer Teams are available at the exits during communion if you would like
someone to pray with you.
Congratulations
Congrats to those who were baptized last Sunday: Mariah Aragon, Damian
Baker, Hope Baker, Patrick Brown, Makenzie Cooper, Seth Diaz, Viola
Gamboa, Shealynn McCarrick, Angela Slaten.
We celebrate the life of Tuck Williams given by God to Paul & Dmiri Samuels,
proud grandparents, Daryne & Sheri Jones, and aunt Savannah.
Sympathy
Our sympathy is extended to Millie Brown, E.J. & Tobie Fouratt and family, in the
passing of their beloved family member, Margaret Waldo.
We would also like to extend our sympathy to Johnnie & Sharon Barajas, Kelly
Barajas, Jeff Barajas, and family, in the passing of their beloved family member,
Marie Barajas.
